Although World War II is often described as an advanced war fought with aircraft carriers and other state-of-the-art combat vehicles, it’s also true that nowhere near all forces were working with that level of tech.
Indeed, it wasn’t unheard of for soldiers (especially German soldiers like the ones depicted here) to primarily rely on manual transportation options like horses and bicycles. For instance, this is a German light machine gun Cyclist Corps standing at attention in Austria.
