Employment of German cavalry in World War II, 1 September 1945.
No full textWhile the main object of this study is to describe German experience with horse cavalry during World War II, it is believed that the historical approach to this subject is the most instructive method of presenting it in its perspective.

All he could carry: US Army infantry equipment, 1839-1910.
No full textThe purpose of this publication is to demonstrate, through the study of nineteenth and early twentieth century United States infantry field equipment, that a more complete understanding of the individual components can be gained by studying them as parts of larger, more comprehensive systems than could be acquired by studying them as if they developed individually, in a vacuum. Contrary to the popular method of studying the evolution of individual components, it can be shown that the development of these components are interrelated to each other and that, in most cases, were intended to be part of a comprehensive equipment system. Thus, an understanding of the origins and development of the complete system is necessary in order to gain a thorough understanding of the individual components
