It's actually surprising just how many horses and horse drawn vehicles that the Wehrmacht used during WW2, anything from field kitchens to supply vehicles.
Didn't Roger and Hammersteins "Oklahoma" come out about this time? Maybe they liked the song "A Surrey with a Fringe on Top"?

Only their front line vehicles were truly mechanized. Hitler's vision for his Army was extremely shallow. By contrast, literally all the U.S. Army had at the Louisiana Maneuvers in 1941 was TRUCKS. They put signs on trucks saying "TANK" for the field judges to factor in. You can possibly thank the Army's trans-continental truck convoys of 1919 and 1920 for accelerating America's interest in mechanized infantry, but the other influence might be the presence of all the principle players in moving assembly line manufacturer of motor vehicles - in America!
