Please use English when posting.

"Cavalerie purtata" was motorized cavalry.
"Cavalerie blindata" was armored cavalry (i. e. a tank unit).

The motorized cavalry was available in small numbers from 1941 (only 3 out of the 6 cavalry brigades had motorized regiments). Teh armored cavalry was a concept created in 1943 and the 8th Cavalry Division was transformed into the 8th Armored Cavalry Division during the 1943/44 winter. However, it never received its tanks and eventually was transformed into a motorized cavalry division.
