General Patton Rescues The Horses (Large Print)

Witez II, one of the most outstandingly, magnificent Polish Arabian stallions ever, tells the true story of how General George S. Patton and Colonel Charles H. Reed saved hundreds of noble horses from being slaughtered and eaten by the Russian Red Army near the end of the Second World War. Witez II actually lived the story, who better to tell it. Gen. Patton and Col. Reed, both avid lifelong horse lovers, combined talents to capture and rescue the best-of-the-best breeding stock the Third Reich had gathered at Hostau Stud Farm in Czechoslovakia 1936-45, including hundreds of Lipizzans and Arabians. For horse lovers, this story is epic and could have been devastating for both breeds had it played out differently.
