Great video. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Danke.
Goliaths are just the cutest weapons ever made. From the first time I laid eyes on one I thought it was great.
Thank you sir
I was fascinated by this machine when I first heard about it about 23 years ago when I found a love for all things WW2. Great video. I have seen photos of where US servicemen were riding around these after they had been made safe. Imagine finding all the Germans hidden secrets and what the people who came upon them thought about them and what they were intended to do .
Good job!
There is a firsthand report in the book D-Day Through German Eyes from an engineer tasked with deploying Goliaths on the beach. He discusses that in part the artillery bombardments had knocked most of his out of commission. It is an interesting firsthand report of how the German's intended their deployment.
Thank you for the tip, I will look it up.
Yes sounds like they didnt work to well in the book
Thanks. That was interesting. I can see how this was one more thing the Germans committed to combat - that wasn't ready. It was to fragile to work properly if banged around.
.
And shot at with 30/06, 50 cal and 303 ammunition. It would take a thick slab to stop a 30/06 let alone a 50.
You say that but they were pretty effective during the Warsaw uprising
@@torinjones3221 The Germans used Goliath's during the Warsaw Uprising
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goliath_tracked_mine
but they were over all not much of a success. Possibly in specific circumstances they did better than elsewhere. One thing about the Warsaw Uprising was that with it taking place in a city the terrain was more level.
.
Thank you. Really well presented.
Thank you for the comment, I'm glad you enjoyed watching.
Entertaining and informative. The Germans had some great ideas that just did not translate into workable weapons. I am amazed the Germans made so many Goliaths considering they were operational failures. Maybe because they were fun to play with 😊.
It seems like Americans couldn't help themselves from playing with goliaths. So maybe the best use was to just leave them around boobytrapped?
@michael porzio Production ordered and the factory pretty much dumped them, they probably didn't care because they already got their payment.
Great video. Imagine if the Jerries had Developed R.C. that we have now. That would've been a Much more Disturbing Device during WW2.
Thx for your Efforts in Making this Video.
Cheers kim in Oz.
Thank you for your comment, and yes a more modern version would have been destructive.
Again a very good video/footage on the Goliath Leichter Ladungsträger a name given to the two unmanned disposable demolition vehicles, one is the the electrically powered Sd.Kfz. 302 and the petrol-engine powered Sd.Kfz. 303a and 303b. Both carried the 60kg high explosive and I believe that the 303b carried 100kg of high explosive. The early Sd.Kfz 302 used two electric motors but, they were costly to make (3,000 Reichsmarks) and difficult to repair in a combat environment with lack of technicians so later models, the Sd.Kfz was fitted with the Zündapp SZ7 / 2-cylinder 12.5 hp basically a more powerful and reliable gasoline engine. But a dumb question is how it was steered with the single engine? Anyway according to Walter J. Spielberg with his book "Special Panzer Variants" it was built much more than the electrically powered Goliath. Basically it was unreliable with a fragile electric box but when it worked it did considerable damage! BTW I never saw the Sd.Kfz 303!! Thanks for sharing 👍 👍
As far as I seen it has two front drives.
Thank you for the video. A nice presentation of this uniqe and rare weapon now days. Even though it was 12 years ago I'll never forget the opportunity I had to get to play around with one I didn't realize how influential they were to the RC world
I believe that one of the earliest RC was possibly the presentation of the RC Maus tank to Hitler with his cronies somewhere around 1942! In truth the technology regarding RC was already being available on the real airplanes. I remember that one the brothers died in a B-17 loaded with bombs in one of the first RC mission. Italy too did the same with a specialised drone with an SM.79 version flown by remote control was also developed, although in 20th September with the Armistice stopped any further research with no operational development.
Excellent video. Keep up the great work.
Thank you 👍 👍
That's cool ..
Very nice video!!
Thank you 👍 👍
Good interesting video mate.
Thank you 👍 👍 👍
I just been there , visited Normandy and saw a real one in one of the many museums
In the Book "D-Day through German eyes" it describes similar problems with the goliaths getting stuck,lines snapping, and not stearing correctly.
Great video on the little known "Goliath".
Thank you Anthony. 👍 👍
Grappige wagentje. Wsl zijn de meeste gelijk gesloopt
Inderdaad, meeste waren niet echt nuttig voor burgers om te gebruiken, aan de andere hand waren ze wel klein en sommige hebben het overleefd omdat ze makkelijk te bewaren waren in een schuurtje.
Panzer Picture leuk om mee rond te rijden toch 😊
I dream to have an Goliath.
Very interesting video. It`s a pity there is not more information out there as I find these little things quite fascinating.
Where can I buy one? Just want to use it next time my mother -in-law coming up my driveway.
Laatst boek over de Ferdinant gelezen, daar ging het ook over de radio bestuurbare tanks. Daarin stond dat ze hoofdzakelijk waren om door mijnenvelden te rijden en ze dan via een explosie een doorgang te creëren. En voor dit werk waren ze wel degelijk van grote waarden.
Niet gemaakt voor tanks aan te vallen of dat soort.
outstanding video on poor utilization of a sound idea..... much like their towable fuel trailer for aircraft.
@ 7:02 ~ *"Pouppeville"?* 👀 lol... Seriously though, an excellent, clever and rather innovative 'comedumentary'; (Comedy/Documentary) So innovative in fact that you have a New Subscriber! 😊
Thank you, glad you enjoyed watching the video. 👍 👍 and thank you for the sub.
Thank you Panzer Picture . There is an account of the use of a Goliath In Paris which is a different environment than Utah Beach , 50 kg Charge . Page 152 Title is The Liberation of Paris , 2019 Jean Edward Smith is the Canadian Author . At The Grand Palais a German armored Unit was Passing thru the City on August 23rd taking advantage of the Truce . One German Soldier was killed when fired on by Paris Police and they responded Immediately . It was one of the largest Buildings in Paris and also housed the 8th Arrondissement of the Police . " They Launched 2 Goliaths ....... When they exploded the explosions were so great that Buildings shook for blocks around...... There was a Swedish Circus underway at the Palais and the Lions , Tigers and Horses bolted for Freedom , as did a collection of Prostitutes imprisoned in the Palais by the Police " . It goes on to say there was a Fire and the Building was a burnt Shell when it was over. There was no mention of whether or not the Girls had any Popcorn or Peanuts ?
Thank you Mark for the information.
Radio control .... that is interesting
👍
It's a crude robot.
The audio book. D day the German perspective gives an firsthand account of an German soldier who used the goliath in battle on d day
Thank you I'm going to look that up.
Two problems doomed the project. Poorly thought out tactics/deployment, and design/construction.
