Cavalry in WW2 was more useful than we think
Recently I received an email from someone that stated that in WW2 cavalry was far more useful than often stated and particularly that scholars heavily neglected the research about it. So, I looked at what Glantz and Zaloga wrote and added my 2 cents as well. Furthermore, I also talk about subjects, which I consider far more relevant in WW2 research that are extremely neglected.
