Here two photos of the bit I offer:

I offer a "new made" S-Kandare, with a size of 13 cm. I used this S-Kandare only few times, because its too big for my horse. This model was used in the German Cavalry from 1912 till 1945. I offer it without the chin-shackle. Price 30 Euro plus shipping. From Germany. I there is interest, ...

And more fotos of German horses in war: Here a picture from 1939, Gruppenfoto besides an abandoned polish tank. It shows the relation of soldier and horse in a Infanterie-Regiment: 4,2 soldiers to 1 riding- or drawnhorse. 1939.jpg One subtask of the horse-drwan units. Nebenaufgaben besp.Truppen.jpg ...

Here a foto that shows Reiter of the Kavallerie-Regiment Mitte in July 1944. They are equipped with the Sturmgewehr 44.

Horrido!

If you are interested, please contact me via PM.

Horrido!

Dear Charlie, I am mostly interested in the last days, when they were in the area of Trebon and Budweis I already had the possibility to talk with one veteran who was in the group of Diest-Körber when they got P.O.W. (but he did not went into captivity and mananged himself to get ...

Myself is interested in the actions of Panzerkorps Feldherrnhalle, too, especially in April and May 1945. The reports in the History of Schwere Panzerabteilung 503 I am familar with, but about the rest of the units belonging to the Korps I have still not found really much. So any input is much aprec...

Somebody from the polish fraction? :)

Interesting question. I have seen exactly noone so far. In all I have read on the Balkans 1914-1918 they were not mentioned at all. Quite strange, I think.

Horrido!

So far noone was able to identify when Keitel exactly got transfered to SS-Kavallerie or where he did serve in 1944 at the Heer.

A Thread about him at the AHF

Horrido!
