The Perfect Horse: The Daring U.S. Mission to Rescue the Priceless Stallions Kidnapped by The Nazis Free Audiobook Download by Elizabeth Letts


In 1944, the Nazis invaded France and captured over a thousand tall-standing horses. They were originally intended to be bred with the best stallions in order to create a perfect cavalry that could fight wars more effectively. As it turned out, they would be used as pack animals. The U.S. government sent General George Patton into action in order to rescue the priceless stallions before they could be scattered across Europe. Patton's men were successful in rounding up five hundred of them but caught a German patrol and had to fight their way out of the cave where they were being stored. One soldier was killed and two were wounded during the melee and six horses were lost among them.

After the end of World War II, during which the Nazis had stolen hundreds of horses from Poland and France, an American soldier named John White was sent to Europe to help find these priceless animals. He found them in Germany, where he led a daring military operation to rescue them.

In 1943, Nazi soldiers captured a group of wild horses from the Polish countryside. These horses were aggressive and had been running free for many years without the need for human contact. They were so wild that they would not allow a horse to be saddled and ridden by a human without fighting back. In order to ride these horses, the Nazis conducted inhumane experiments on them using electricity, whips, and chemical weapons. The U.S government realized that these horses deserved protection but they needed help to accomplish it. So they enlisted the help of famed horsemen who trained the stallions with an electric shock collar and taught them basic commands such as "stand", "lie down" and "come". After just 5 months of training, the U.S military stormed into Poland and rescued all 46 of these priceless animals before transporting them to America where they were eventually sent into battle in Europe during World War II by General George Patton himself

In 1943, the government of Nazi Germany was breeding horses for military use. The stallions were stolen from their owners and taken to a location where they could be used during WWII. The U.S. Government decided that these horses were too important to be lost in war and planned a daring mission to rescue them by sending a team led by Lt. Col. George Arents to find the horses and bring them back to the United States.

The story opens with the raid on a Nazi airfield in 1945. Here, U.S. cavalry officers learned of a secret Nazi scheme to capture horses from all over Europe for a war-time project that would never see the light of day. The Nazis were planning to use these horses as replacement mounts for their military and as a way to further consolidate power across Europe. These stallions were so beloved by Americans that they had to be rescued before they could be lost forever

The Nazis came across the perfect horse one day, but this wasn't just any old horse. It was a stallion. They knew what they had in their possession and how much it would be worth to them if they could get it to their homeland. They were sure that no one could find out what they were doing until they were successful and had their prize on-board the ship. While the horse was being loaded onto the ship, a group of American soldiers pulled up with an S.O.S sign and started firing at the Nazi soldiers...
