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.”

SS CAVALRY
A REVIEW OF THE
BOOK BY AVMC COMMANDER JOE JOHNSON
This book
is one of the tops on the subject of the Waffen SS
Horse Cavalry. It covers all aspects of this famous branch of
the glorious Waffen SS fighting elite: the Horse Cavalry, including the
Bicycle and Mechanized troops attached to the Waffen SS
Horse Cavalry Divisions. Also the attached Horse Artillery is well
covered. The importance of dismounted actions are not
overlooked! The illustrations and photographs are fine
and really bring this book to life. I'm eager to read
and study more military books written by Breaker McCoy.
It is really good work that Breaker and the
QuikManeuvers staff has done by writing these books
and making them available to soldiers, Military
historians and the public!
It is refreshing to read about World War II without
having to wade through pro-Communist multicultural
Politically Correct hogwash. This book is totally devoid
of the typical anti-Nazi venom and propaganda so common
in most books about World War II. Another great plus
about this book and others by Breaker McCoy is that they
are written by a Military historian, tactician, and
strategist who firmly understands that Horse Cavalry
still has an important role to play in modern warfare!
Those who think the days of Horse Cavalry ended with
World War I are in for quite a surprise. This book is a
good ride over bullet riddled, blood soaked battle
grounds where some of the Aryan knights of World War II gained
honor and glory in a hard fought struggle to defend
Western Christendom from Communism!
This book
was well researched, and its extensive bibliography will
be appreciated by any true student of Military Science
and Military History. Any true
knight and combat cavalryman who takes the time and
effort to read and study this book will be richly
rewarded with time well spent and an increased knowledge
of how to use Horse Cavalry in modern warfare. These
lessons need to be learned and remembered.
Breaker McCoy, your work is greatly appreciated; you
have written a fine book on the Waffen SS Cavalry.
For Duty, Honor & Country!
For Faith, Folk & Family!

Christ's Crown and Covenants!
