            A recruit would be trained as a Cavalryman, which would involve the centuries old skills and tactics of warfare on horseback updated for the modern battlefield.

              Sorry to contradict you, but -
              The cavalry school trained officer candidates in basic leadership skills and branch tactics and operations. Equitation was part of this regimen, but it also included acquiring proficiency in the employment of motorized and bicycle-borne cavalrymen. In addition the school trained company- and field-grade officers in courses tailored to their leadership level, i.e., troop, squadron or regiment. The school also had a small detachment that tested new equipment. Finally, the Aufklaerungs-Lehr-Abteilung (originally the Kavallerie-Lehr- und Versuchs-Abteilung) was nominally subordinate to the school to be employed in school field exercises. At the time that the featured shoulder straps were produced (1944), the school (Kavallerie- und Aufklaerungs-Schule) was located in Bromberg, West Prussia (it had been moved there from Potsdam-Krampnitz in mid-1943).

                Thank you for your thorough description of the Kavallerie Schule. I am aware that this is your area of concentration (didn't you write a book on the German Cavalry?) and appreciate your studied correction of my "Cliff Notes" response to the question. I am not certain your definition is a complete "contradiction" but certainly a more comprehensive primer. At least we agree on the "skills and tactics".
