When I was a little kid not only did most of my uncles and older people in my rural area have Willy's Jeeps we also had a plethora of Army Mules. One of my uncles who fought in WW2 was in the Army when they transitioned away from Horses and Mules. The "Army Mule" was a very reliable beast who could operate off-road and in low temp's where Jeeps and Trucks would freeze up. Jeep was a TRUE "Modern Marvel" of its day! Great Video, Thanks for posting.

The Germans too relied heavily on horses. All their mechanized stuff was about 25/30% percent of the whole army. The leading forces of the Blitzkrieg doctrine had all of the tanks/motorcycles/halftracks and so on and so on but in the rear the main portion of of the armies travelled by foot/horses and bicycles.
