It is a fact not generally remembered that most of the German Army of 1939-45, regarded as the most technologically advanced of its day, was horse-drawn. This is the memoir of Max Kuhnert, who was a mounted cavalryman during World War II. Kuhnert, who came from Dresden, enlisted in the German Army in 1939, and was posted to a cavalry unit which, later, provided mounted reconnaissance troops for infantry regiments. His account tells of mobilisation, the invasion of Poland, a spell in occupied Denmark, the invasion of France – during which his unit was very much in the vanguard – a return to Poland and the invasion of Russia, then retreat, wounding and return to Germany.
