Romanian Cavalry WW2

Romanian cavalry fought on the Eastern Front during the Second World War, initially alongside Germany against the Soviet Union. Mounted units operated in a campaign where long distances and limited transport made horses useful despite the rise of mechanized warfare. Romania changed sides in 1944, after which its forces fought German and Hungarian troops, making date and allegiance important distinctions. Romania’s military relied heavily on horses for both mounted troops and the movement of artillery and supplies. Cavalry service therefore coexisted with the gradual introduction of more motor vehicles and armored formations. The army’s experience cannot be understood purely as a contest between modern machines; animal transport remained a practical necessity across the great distances of the eastern campaign.
