Finally a documentary about the use of horses on the German side during WW2. Thanks :)

[@Zaubernudel]

My granpa was a cavalryman in Poland, France and later Ukraine. They where then integrated into the 24th Panzerdivision "the leaping horsemen". Wounded in Stalingrad, captured 45 in Marienburg pow until 48. Became 96 y. Tough lad Thx 4 the Video

[@rc59191]

Dude your grandpa was amazing. Did he ever talk about what it was like being a mounted cavalry Trooper in an time where everyone was using tanks?

[@SCoon-bu2po]

When fuel stops flowing, the horse will be king again.

[@joylunn3445]

That's me sorted then.

[@SamBroadway]

This is one of the best World war II channels on youtube. My only complaint is I have to binge watch these long episodes. So for my day off I will watch 3 hours of excellent coverage. This is simply the best.

[@historyatwar]

Thank you so much 🙌🏼

[@davecopp9356]

Thank you for this video and for shining a light on this topic. The prussians were horse lovers and very good at breeding and training them.

[@dragospeta3812]

"You beat a dead horse." There's something you must know : you can work a horse to death.... unlike the oxen. Oxen when tired they will just stop working and sit where they are, no way to make them restart working even beaten severly. A horse ? Pushed and pushed again will drop dead under you. If you beat a horse, he will go and go on until have a heart attack, etc. Buy the way, german horses were not adapted to the Pontic Steppe. Germans tryed to replace their horses with the small sturdy steppe poney far much more endurent.

[@jeddkeech259]

they had some beautiful, amazing horses. a shame so much good horse DNA was lost in the war. some of my best memories are from riding horses with my auntie

One of your best productions ; Thank You @ HAW . !

[@warrenbrenner4972]

I've learned German WW2 tanks were not equipped with heaters for the crew.In extreme cold they had to run the engine all night for fear of not starting again.

[@voodooofficial6796]

Great work

[@dominikbt7891]

I really hate when everyone is only talking about dogs in wars but no one talks about horses

[@TheWellnessHub15]

Loving the video recently, keep em coming man

[@Ickie71]

we all are mate

[@conakrylad771]

Agreed!

[@JoeV-nq9ez]

I am currently watching " the Hitler chronicles" on firestick, Tubi I think. Anyhow they prepared for blitzkrieg on bikes while the curious world watched on to make sure they didn't violate the treaty of V. They practices on pedal bikes, pretty nice ones to. Never before did a documentary go so deep into Hitler, all we see for our whole lives is the horrible part. This doc starts at his birth, his schooling, his schoolmates left comments etc. It's a good one. Deep. The Hitler chronicles

[@matthewmaurysmith2486]

Yes. This is important. People who dumb history down into ideas like Hitler was evil and the German Army was evil, those people are apparatuses and the reason why it will happen again. They do not understand it and they dumb it down in the comic book un reality

[@chadrowe8452]

Whenever I hear someone with I can't get a job because I'm a felon I think Hitler was a felon wrote his book while in prison, got released and became chancellor then Fuhrer of a country he was not born in

[@zf5567]

Thank you for this!

[@ChadHoyt-kh3jf]

Great video. Thanks for sharing 🤚🏻

[@conakrylad771]

Another amazing documentary please keep it up! Thank you so much!

[@mohammedsaysrashid3587]

It was a magnificent historical coverage video about military cavalry units of German armies during WW2. How Nazism military commands insisted to show glory and importance of Cavolery units in historical Tetoenic period glory prospectives....thank you (history at war ) channel for sharing

[@creightonleerose582]

Recollection/soldiers personal writing @ 39:00min's concerning the close relationships humans share with animals is both quite wrenching & on point. Working within any Military Cavalry discipline during wartime conditions would be an emotionally tough ride due to such close & caring two way > bonds having been forged... An additional, Secondary stress mechanism, in addition to all the other present, or looming traumas strains & factors. When a tank/machine gives up tha ghost n' lets tha smoke outtve 'er, it certainly does suck if one is relying on such a machine, but you can simply walk away from 'er no matter how much attention was previously shown to it, w/o a care....Or git BUSY fixing it....

[@leoncsorba9085]

Excellent sir ❤

[@JakeConny12]

Keep it up!

[@mikejohnson2098]

Awesome video

[@The1davidb]

Can’t remember what General said it but “Only 2 people didn’t know it got cold in Russia, Napoleon and the Fuhrer!”

[@irisjanemay1903]

There's a picture of many high ranking German officers standing out in the snow looking at something, and some are smiling. The companion picture shows what they are looking at. It is Herman Fegalien on a huge, magnificent grey horse. Tolkien based his Riders of Rohan on the Germanic horsemen that came out of the East. We don't think of them as horse warriors, but they were.

[@jokodihaynes419]

Horses still play a part of the blitzkrieg

[@EastBayNorCal]

It’s time for individual profiles on historic generals of world War 2 Guderian Rommel for example

[@DmonNacht999]

Great channel, great docz!

[@briankorbelik2873]

An excellent video! I'd love so see one that traced the history of the latter war with 4th and 5th Calvary Brigades. Infomation on these are pretty scarce. I've only found a couple of books on that subect, through all my digging over the yeats, and would like to know more. For instance how Calvary Group Hartenek nearly killed Hitler in March of '43, but von Kluge (Cleaver hands), chickened out. Would make for interesting viewing. It already makes fo interestoing reading..Also a special episode on the 18th Panzergrenadier division. The unit that was probably destroyed the most of Das Heer, and the entire Wehrmacht in the entire wat, inclusing rhe Battle for Berlin.

Quit horsing around, you guys.

[@yuppy1967]

Awesome!

[@sr-5568]

America had vehicles Germany had horses lol.

[@joylunn3445]

Britain also mechanised early, they knew the complicated logistics of moving horses overseas and across continents. Also Germany had very limited oil supplies.

[@raemonedward8168]

At 25:38, URSS?

[@geoffballe8766]

Magnificent animals,, alas

[@pgolpa4829]

Hello Barbarossa the biggest logistical disaster in history of war fair .German high command had the best tactical and strategic in military but worst logistical planing and that’s what lost them the war and it was obvious 4 months in to the advance by October 41 the war was lost people think it was lost after Stalingrad but when you lose 20% or more of your troops and equipment in the first winter it’s already over as we all know they never came back to the point where there were by beginning of winter 41 and simply you lost the war right there Cheers

There’s another good video on the British using horses in WW2 m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKjQlqGBbdRparM

[@bobyouel7674]

i have the history the cav have NOT [NOT] yet surrendered THEY WERE SENT HOME BY THEIR COMMANDER

[@patricklemire9278]

Horses didn't fit the image Goebbels wanted to project, so they were rarely filmed.

[@michaelstudd533]

🎉😮🔥

[@pyry1948]

Stop calling it "Blitzkrieg" like some British Boomer. It's manouver warfare (Bevegungs Krieg). The German military literature and officers of the time call it that.

[@historyatwar]

If you didn’t realise I am British, and we are an English Channel so we will continue to call it Blitzkrieg, most of our audience will know what Blitzkrieg is. 🤝

[@pyry1948]

@@historyatwar spreading misinfo then. Using propaganda terms over the actual ones. No German of that time would have called it that.

[@historyatwar]

Blitzkrieg is just a word to describe the rapid armed tactic, there’s lots of words the Germans didn’t use but many Historians use, the Term “Nazi” is a prime example of that, again using the word Blitzkrieg since it’s what it’s known for in the wider basis.

[@noko4247]

@@pyry1948 they're trying to run a channel and people will sooner watch a video with the word "blitzkrieg" in it. calling it "blitzkrieg" is not misinformation. its what its known as by everyone in the anglosphere.

[@metanoian965]

Vott ! Ze Germans had horses ? Is this history revisionism in the making ? Where were these brave, dedicated, heroic Germans on horses hiding for the past 80 years ? Must be just more German Propaganda Department films for the gullible cinema audiences of the '30s. Similar to the German Propaganda film clips about the romantic and tragic Polish Cavalry jousting with lances and sabers The Mighty German Iron Cross Tanks with machine guns blazing ! Ja ja ! lol. Well, - 2024 - what took you so long ? now that you're doing the German horse bit thing you can also do the German SS Bicycle thing. And while you're at it you can do the German Pervitin chocolate bits thing. Bits of cheap courage for the perfect zombies. lol

[@hammadurrehman8189]

In the end we came to know horses were real blitzkrieg
