Figurines HAT Industries 1/72 - German Cavalry of World War I

The German Cavalry at the Dawn of the Great War

These 1/72 scale soldiers represent the cavalry regiments of the German Empire mobilized at the beginning of the conflict in August 1914.

At that time, cavalry remained an essential element of all major European armies.

Its speed and mobility allowed it to carry out reconnaissance missions, protect the flanks of marching armies, transmit orders, and exploit breakthroughs made by the infantry.

During the first weeks of the war, German cavalry actively participated in operations in Belgium, Luxembourg, northern France, and the Eastern Front. Their presence on the front lines provided valuable information to the headquarters about the movements of enemy forces.

Historically Accurate 1/72 Scale Figurines

This HAT 1/72 box showcases the field gray campaign uniforms adopted shortly before the outbreak of the war.

The cavalrymen are equipped with their regulation helmet, saber, carbine, and all the necessary equipment for long reconnaissance missions.

These military miniatures perfectly illustrate the transition from the mobile warfare of 1914 to the positional warfare that gradually took hold on the Western Front.

With the introduction of machine guns, heavy artillery, and barbed wire networks, large cavalry charges became increasingly rare.

The regiments were then used for surveillance missions, liaison duties, or transferred to the Eastern Front, where the vast spaces still allowed for mounted operations.
