    Will we see any cavalry for Ostmerk or Moravia?

      I am so keen to raise them. Yes they will indeed appear. Hope the footage worked for you.

    Fantastic finds, thank you for posting. Interestingly in 1939 the only truly fully mechanized army was ....The British. There were a few cavalry units still where terrain demanded.

    I must admit, generates are actually rather good. Tanky wargamers tend to favour Sherman's T34s, Tigers etc. but the films, although staged, demonstrate the practicality of lighter armour.
