Whilst the article's title is a bit misleading (this was def not the last great cavalry charge) this account, written by a veteran who participated and served in this unit and this very charge, is mind-blowingly awesome.



Brigadier General Zygmunt Podhorski, commander of the Suwalki Cavalry Brigade.  Survived POW camp in Germany, died in 1960.

Victory in Europe Day — known as V-E Day or VE Day — commemorates 8 May 1945 (in Commonwealth countries; 7 May 1945), the date when the World War II Allies formally accepted the unconditional surrender of the armed forces of Nazi Germany and the end of Adolf Hitler's Third Reich. The formal surrender of the occupying German forces in the Channel Islands was not until 9 May 1945. On 30 April Hitler committed suicide during the Battle of Berlin, and so the surrender of Germany was authorized by his replacement, President of Germany Karl Dönitz. The administration headed by Dönitz was known as the Flensburg government. The act of military surrender was signed on 7 May in Reims, France, and ratified on 8 May in Berlin, Germany.

And if im not mistaken, it was used in the Battle of Kursk as a command vehicle.
