    I agree. You would think that with the scarcity of weapons at that time the Germans would have put more effort into retreiving them. But with the demodernization of the German military as the war progressed it became harder and harder for them. The Us would not really give the problem a second thought.

    "The total number of horses used by the German armed forces during the war is unknown, but losses appear to have totaled about 2.7 million, nearly double the 1.4 million that were lost in World War I. This includes animals killed for food"
