I think there's two main author choices for actual, researched information (as opposed to recycled details that weren't very accurate in the first place). Mark Yerger's Riding East is the history of the SS-Kavallerie Brigade, the predecessor to the SS-Kavallerie Division. Mark updated some details for his recent Volume 4 in his series on German Cross in Gold Holders, which covers the holdiers from the SS-Kavallerie units.
The other choice is Rolf Michaelis, whose book on Waffen-SS Kavallerie Divisions has been translated from German to English recently. I don't have it, but it is supposed to be like his other books, which have good introductory information, but are not exhaustive studies of their subject.

Originally posted by Mark C. Yerger View Post"Riding East" only covered the Brigade, volume 4 covers the pre-armed units established prior to 1939, the Brigade and both Cavalry Divisions. No disrespect intended or perhaps my statement misinterpretation, but the more recent book is considerably more than "updated." The amount of new material within volume 4 is vast both in comparison as well as numerically more specific topics (i.e. both divisions, Ia, etc) per parameters of the series.
