Although it doesn't look like it, cavalry still played a role in WW2. The German army alone had an average of 1.1 million horses during the entire war.

This song, The blue Dragoons is a German folk song and march, which was created at the beginning of the First World War. The text was written by G.W. Harmssen 1914. The music comes from Hans Hertel. The song was very popular in the period of national socialism and was printed from 1933 to 1945 in numerous song books.
This version is probably from ~2005

Die blauen Dragoner, sie reiten
Mit klingendem Spiel durch das Tor,
Fanfaren sie begleiten
Hell zu den Hügeln empor.

Die wiehernden Rosse, sie stampfen,
Die Birken, die wiegen sich lind,
Die Fähnlein auf den Lanzen
Flattern im Morgenwind.

Morgen, da müssen sie reiten,
Mein Liebster wird bei ihnen sein.
Morgen in alle Weiten
Morgen, da bin ich allein.

Die blauen Dragoner, sie reiten
Mit klingendem Spiel durch das Tor,
Fanfaren sie begleiten
Hell zu den Hügeln empor.
