An unusual, myth-busting approach to the German Army in World War II Shows how horses were employed and how Germany acquired many of its horses from conquered countries
One of the great misconceptions about World War II is the notion that the German Army was a marvel of mechanical efficiency, combining lightning speed with awesome military power. However, despite the frightening strength of the panzer forces, about 75 percent of the German Army relied on horses for transport. Horses played a role in every German campaign, from the blitzkrieg in Poland in 1939 and the invasion of Russia to France in 1944. Even the epic tank battle at Kursk witnessed the use of these animals. DiNardo offers a compelling reconsideration of the German war machine.

Mechanized Juggernaut or Military Anachronism? Horses and the German Army of World War II
More a long essay than a book, never-the-less this look at the real motive power of the German Army in WWII is fascinating. The final chapter and Conclusion are well worth the time for any serious student of military history as the author examines why the myth of the Panzer arose when there were so many horses deployed by the Germans. A good bit of the myth is due to films produced during the war as so many of those depicted action in North Africa where both sides were mechanized with little or no hoofed transport. Further, Nazi propaganda never showed horses except in parades.
