Animals have been companions of man since time immemorial - as farm animals, protectors and friends. In the history of animals, many were used for military purposes. In this book, Barbara Maiwald documents the use of animals in the German armed forces from the end of the 19th century to 1945. Divided into the most important animal species, she describes their tasks in the military (in combat, as draught animals, for reconnaissance and reporting, etc.) as well as the equipment they required. It also describes the important function of animals in raising the morale of the troops.
