 |
| The Goliath demolition vehicles was a remote controlled tank-shaped vehicle designed during the war by German scientists. It was about four feet long, two feet wide and roughly a foot in height and was packed with 75 kg of high explosives, enough to blow up a tank or demolish a building. Once the unfortunate target was established, the vehicle was guided by an engineer, and once in the right position, for example under a tank, the explosives would be detonated and destroy the target. They were used mostly by specialized Panzer and combat engineer units of the Wehrmacht and were seen on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, 6 June 1944, although most were quickly rendered inoperative due to damage from artillery blasts. |

| Sgt. Lester Sacks, VI Corps Ordnance, looks at one of the motors of the ‘doodlebug’, a self-propelled miniature tank containing an explosive charge. The Germans have used this tank against our positions on the Anzio Beachhead. Contrary to popular belief this ‘doodlebug’ is not radio controlled. The tank has a large battery and two electric motors. The tank is controlled by means of the control wires paid out from the back of the tank. The enemy can make the tank move forward or turn. When tanks are in proper position explosive is set off. This tank was picked up by a company of the Special Service Force. It was carried back on a hospital stretcher. It was first discovered by a patrol from the same company, just 150 yds. from the enemy. Anzio beachhead, Italy. 11 April 1944. |
