Tragic, but nothing compared to what followed.

Wasn't that WWI? Tragic either way.

The Germans never had enough trucks in WWII, and what they did have were always breaking down because half of them were stolen form the Poles and Czechs and there was no standard platform so they always ran out of spare parts. In consequence they had over a million horses dragging their supplies, and the infantry had to walk a lot. I don't think the horses enjoyed the eastern front any more than the men did.

Yes my mistake.  I was thinking of the numbers of British horses so there could be millions more from the other countries. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

Amazing. Of all the fraudulent statistics you have put online, this is the one you choose to walk back? The one where you finally underestimated some unpleasantness.
