Please use English when posting.
"Cavalerie purtata" was motorized cavalry. "Cavalerie blindata" was armored cavalry (i. e. a tank unit). The motorized cavalry was available in small numbers from 1941 (only 3 out of the 6 cavalry brigades had motorized regiments). Teh armored cavalry was a concept created in 1943 and the 8th Cavalry Division was transformed into the 8th Armored Cavalry Division during the 1943/44 winter. However, it never received its tanks and eventually was transformed into a motorized cavalry division. See more here: http://www.worldwar2.ro/organizare/index.p...e=en&article=10 |
