Episode Title: Week 100 - The Wehrmacht - an Army on Horseback - WW2 - July 25 1941

Air Date: 2020-07-25

Overview:

Although we may picture panzers when we think of the German Army in WW2, it was very much an army that relied on horses- especially in the east- for a large part of its supplies and logistics, and the horse situation on the Eastern Front has grown dire. Japan's economic situation has also grown dire and they are now looking south for new sources of raw materials.
