Waffen SS Cavalry is another unique QuikManeuvers.com publication, which includes a wealth of material and combat analysis found nowhere else. The organization, training, combat methods, and blood drenched battles of Waffen SS Cavalry are described in a manner that will capture the attention of any reader. The rich history of Waffen SS Cavalry is recounted from the pre-war years through the final days of the Third Reich. Every one of the SS Cavalry brigades and divisions fought on the Eastern Front. It was there in the open steppes, tangled primeval forests, and burning cities such as Budapest that Waffen SS Cavalry troops displayed the valor and steadfast combat resolve that was expected of the Waffen SS elite. But the Waffen SS Cavalry was more than that. They were capable of
transitioning from close combat to rapid deep penetration much quicker than pursuing SS infantry. Suddenly, Waffen SS troops clinging to the steel hulls of assault guns would crash forward, in a crescendo of fire and death. Fanning out to a flank and seeing through the smoke dimly, would be Waffen SS horsemen, racing to intercept the retreating enemy before they had time to control their panic and dig in. Their advance was made more terrifying by the howls of the Waffen SS Cavalry Hound Detachment. If the enemy did stop, the Waffen SS Cavalry would loop around them in a wide enveloping maneuver. As the half-drunk, fear crazed communist infantry trembled in the dirt; the message that the war would soon be over for them was broadcast bye the thundering hoofbeats of Waffen SS cavalry.

“In September 1944, two battalion-sized units of the 8th SS Cavalry Division practically wiped out a division of the turncoat 4th Rumanian Army which was then subordinated to the 27th Soviet Army. The German cavalrymen were dug in
on heights 463 and 495 which constituted a battleground that was to become known as Bloody Hill, east of Budapest, Hungary.
In spite of the fact that the German cavalry was well dug-in with many machine guns as well as artillery and Stuka dive bomber support, the Soviets ordered the reluctant Rumanian 9th Infantry Division to make a direct assault. For the frontal attack the Rumanians were supported by two heavy artillery regiments, six 120mm mortar companies, and five other artillery battalions.
When the Rumanians sent a single infantry battalion forward on September 22, it was met by German machine gun grazing fire, an artillery barrage and a Stuka attack. Not surprisingly, the German defensive fire slaughtered the Rumanian battalion. The Rumanian corpses lay in piles and bloody lines across the battlefield. The highly lethal German MG42 had scythed them down like so many rows of ripe wheat.
On the 23rd, the Rumanians threw in two fresh infantry battalions and that night an entire Rumanian infantry regiment prepared for a daylight assault. On the 24th, several Rumanian battalions attacked the German held heights after a two
hour artillery barrage by over 200 Soviet and Rumanian artillery pieces.
During the 24th and 25th of September, fierce attacks and counter attacks took place around Height 463. The Rumanians broke into the German trenches several times, only to be rapidly ejected by fierce German counter attacks. On the 26th Of September the 3rd Battalion of the Rumanian 36th Infantry Regiment took Height 463 and later that day the 3rd Battalion of the Rumanian 34th Infantry Regiment took Height 495. Although the Germans continued to counterattack until nightfall, the Rumanians held on. Bloody Hill cost the Rumanian 9th Infantry Division 531 dead and 3757 wounded and missing. Total Rumanian losses in the combat area were over 7,000 men.”
