Josef Thorak was born in Vienna on February 7, 1889 and attended the Vienna Art Academy, eventuallymoving on to the Berlin Art Academy in 1915. After his studies he established himself as a sculptor of monumental works such as the 4-meter-high (13-foot)gable figure for the Reichsbank building in the western German city of Buer.

Replacement of horses with armored cars in British cavalry began in 1928. Over the following eleven years all regular mounted regiments stationed in the United Kingdom, other than the Household Cavalry, were motorized, [4] and their horses sold or allocated to other units. Mechanised cavalry regiments retained their traditional titles but were grouped with the Royal Tank Regiment as part of the Royal Armoured Corps established in April 1939.

In this battle fought on September 1, 1939, the Polish 18th Cavalry Regiment charged and dispersed a German infantry unit. [72] Soon afterwards the Poles themselves were gunned down by German armored vehicles and retreated with heavy casualties; the aftermath of the beating was fictitiously presented as a cavalry charge against tanks.

Fredrik von Erichsen/picture alliance via Getty Images German and Soviet armies relied heavily on work horses to pull artillery and supplies. [17] Horses seemed to be a cheap and reliable transport especially in the spring and fall mud of the Eastern Front [17] but the associated costs of daily feeding, grooming and handling horses were staggering. In theory horse units could feed off the country, but grazing on grass alone rendered horses unfit for work and the troops had no time to spend searching the villages for fodder.
