Why? The British Army that they had been fighting since 1940 didn't use horses either so the Germans knew that it was possible.

- p_l 5y agoFor a lot of the soldiers who were fighting on D-Day would not have a lot of experience fighting british units, especially well supplied british units. The defeat in France was pretty swift and not a great place to observe superior logistics. Meanwhile Nazis were heavily dependant on horses in their logistics - things like the Red Ball Express were pretty much inconceivable.
