The Goliath is a wire-guided small tracked vehicle used by the Wehrmacht during the Second World War .
He had a load of explosives from 60 to 100 kg, can be remotely activated to destroy a tank or a fortified place Each Goliath was scheduled to be destroyed with its target .
By 1940 , having recovered from the Seine near a miniature prototype vehicle developed by the French designer Adolphe Kégresse , the bureau asked the Wehrmacht weapons development by the Borgward automobile company in Bremen a similar vehicle to transport Explosives . The result was the Sd . Kfz . 302 ( Sonder Kraftfahrzeug , " motor vehicle " ) called the Leichte Ladungsträger ( " enabling light load " ) nicknamed Goliath .
The vehicle was controlled remotely using a control box fitted with a " joystick " , which was connected to the Goliath by two telephone cables connecting to the rear of the vehicle .
The first model of the Goliath using an electric motor to move but because of its cost and difficulties of repair , the following model ( known as Sd . Kfz . 303 ) used a gasoline engine is simpler and more reliable

Although a total of 7564 Goliath of the two models have been produced , this single-use weapon has not been considered a success because of its high unit cost , its very slow speed ( 9.5 km / h ) , its thin armor did not protect against any type of modern anti-tank weapon , and its control cables vulnerable .
