Despite the myth stating the German army was mechanized it was actually quite the opposite, the majority of German logistics depended on horses!

These pictures are incredible! you really get a sense of what the Germans had to deal with regarding the "Rapsuitsa" (The Russian word for the rain that turns roads into mush and mud). As some pictures show once the snow and freezing cold started to set in later in 41 they basically grounded to a halt, even the tanks couldn't get through forget about there logistics such as trucks! Heres the thread with all the picutres, its a great website filled with a lot of authors on the second World War- [url]http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=165587[/url]
