One of the highlights of his tour in the army.

It never surprises me to find where Disney played it fast and loose with history. They portrayed the Lippizaners, along with 700 head of the best Arabians in Europe, behind German lines in Czechoslovakia with the Russians closing in. I'll have to find more info on that part while reading the linked material and mustangernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7375883121749958694.post-18223702046259445282010-04-24T09:30:44.915-06:002010-04-24T09:30:44.915-06:00I've heard it said that the Airs Above Ground ...I've heard it said that the Airs Above Ground were maneuvers originally required of war horses - something about them having a tactical combat application.<br /><br />Anything in your research point to that?<br /><br /><br />WV="Agashemi."

Don't remember what book it was. Also read And Miles To Go, about Witez II. See if you can find it, it's an interesting read. I think it was those two books that got me interested in WW2 history (that and dad watching Victory At Sea)Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17765443131151220391noreply@blogger.com
