IrishGunner Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I am constantly amazed how heavily the German Army was dependent on horses. Hollywood never shows it this way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter monahan Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I am constantly amazed how heavily the German Army was dependent on horses. Hollywood never shows it this way... I think the figure I read once was that 30% of Wermacht transport was still horse drawn by 1945. It was in connection with photos taken after D-Day, as the Allies rush to close the Falaise Gap: the results of Typhoons strafing convoys of horse drawn carts. When horse carcasses bloat the legs on the upper side are actually pushed out horizontal to the ground and there is one particularly heartbreaking shot of an Allied tank rolling past a whole roadside covered in these poor dumb animals who died as a result of an inter-human conflict.
