Horses were really not an issue, the key to German logistics was the railroad. Logistics works in echelons, the rail lines carry the bulk supplies to the Army railhead, trucks carry it to Corps depots, trucks carry it to Divisions, trucks carry it to Brigade level, then you may or may not have horses. The Infantry divisions used a lot of horses to drag artillery, field kitchens, equipment wagons, etc., but still had trucks for connecting back to Corps depots. Horses only operated at the tactical/short range level. There were no long roads back to Germany full of horses.

The information environment in the collective West is open, very few controls, which makes us very vulnerable to information warfare conducted by Russia and China. They actively seek to exploit our divisions, fan any flames of discontent, and make us less likely to want to stand together as they look to gobble up Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Taiwan, and replace the West across the world economy.
When it comes to these speeches, I immediately wonder who created these and why? It's not some sort of useful public service, or history curiosity, and the timing with the Israeli/Hamas/Hezbollah/Iran issue seems to be an obvious driver.
Who is pushing these and why? Who is looking to create dissent and what's the ultimate agenda?

"Please explain why Stalin dismantled the Stalin Line":
When the Soviets signed the Nazi-Soviet Pact and dismembered Poland, occupied the Baltic States; the border moved West which made the Stalin line obsolete in terms of geographical location and doctrine. The line was too far back to support Red Army doctrine of multi-echeloned defense/counter-attack. The enemy was to be stopped at the border before the 2nd echelon counter-attacked. A new defensive line was being built further West to meet doctrinal requirements, it was shorter and thus cheaper also. As it was being built, the Germans unexpectedly quickly defeated the French. This hastened the pace of the building of the new line, and hastened the moving of the old line's weapons and equipment to the new locations. The Soviets did not have the resources and manpower in peacetime to man and equip both lines. War was not expected in 1941, therefore the Stalin line's weapons and equipment were removed, stored for future installation, etc. Properly stored weapons, ammunition, etc. don't require maintenance or manning, thus time and money are saved.
This is all explained in detail from original Soviet documents in multiple books.
