Hi all,
Can anyone tell me about the supporting units that were part of the Reichsheer Kavallerie-Divisionen?
The Reiter-Regimente and their composition are all clear (well…..reasonably clear) but I haven’t been able to find anything about the divisions having Aufklärungs- or Pioniere- and other such units. Also wondering about divisional artillery or an artillery regiment, did they have such a thing? Composition of the Divisionsstab is also a very dark grey area.
And a question about “Kavallerie der Wehrmacht” by Klaus Christian Richter, I’m thinking of buying this book but would like an opinion of fellow members about its quality before I do so.
Any and all information is most welcome, thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Paul

Hi Paul,
Whilst I can't help... I know a man who can. Jan-Hendrik is our resident cavalry expert aided by his other half (they're also both horse riders). It's worth dropping in on his Panzer-Archiv forum as there is reams of stuff on Wehrmacht cavalry divisions over there.

No-one who speaks German could be an evil man
Re: Kavallerie-Divisionen questions
Thank you Richard, I'll hop over and look around there.
Never knew about the cavalrylove of Jan-Hendrik but I should have thought of Panzer-Archiv, even for this non Panzer question!
Thanks again,
Paul

One may ought that Mr. Richter is a personal friend of mine, but this one is definitly the most comprehensive book on this topic

"Kavallerie der Wehrmacht" is more a pictoral overview More detailed is "Die Geschichte der deutschen Kavallerie 1919-1945" by Mr. Rchter, seeAnd a question about “Kavallerie der Wehrmacht” by Klaus Christian Richter, I’m thinking of buying this book but would like an opinion of fellow members about its quality before I do so.
