Why the German Army Used 2.7 Million Horses (And How It Cost Them WWII)

The world saw the "Blitzkrieg" as a mechanized tidal wave of Panzers and Luftwaffe aces. But behind the propaganda, the German Wehrmacht was an army out of time. For every tank that crossed the Soviet border, there were thousands of horses straining against the mud.

In this deep-dive documentary for Timeline Tally, we explore the "Two-Speed Wehrmacht"—a military superpower tethered to the biological limits of the beast of burden. From the grain crisis of 1941 to the starving pockets of Stalingrad where soldiers were forced to eat their own transport, discover why the Nazi's failure to industrialize their logistics became their terminal liability.

Was the horse-drawn supply chain the real reason Germany lost the Eastern Front? We analyze the industrial disparity, the American "Arsenal of Democracy," and the grueling reality of the Landser on the ground.
