Restored German Goliath - Wehrmacht anti-tank tracked mine

[Wiktormotra]

There are several Goliaths that could be restored to running conditions (for example in Polish Army Museum, Warsaw) but doing so for example for reconstruction groups would cost so much that it'll be cheaper to build copy

I've another video, but I'm not the owner. I should actually post it here anyways as this museum no longer exists and it's treasures have been auctioned off already.

@tvnshack How does this goliath run ? On electricity or fuel ? The engine is inside it together with the explosives,how big can it be ? The goliath needs room for fuel or battery,room for explosives,engine,the tracks and so on and carry the armour.. So Im guessing the engine is small and is the armour----this weapon is of no use compared to a panzerschrek.. Against bunkers,perhaps ?

@RebelSonBand Hello. It depends on the model. These ones (Sd.Kfz. 302) where powered by batteries. The electrical motors are on the sides inside the tracks casings. With 60kg of explosives. Please read the available documents about these devices. It's better than guessing.

@tvnshack Well,I just saw the vid by chance and wondered... Am I correct in saying this was not a powerfull anti-tank weapon ? Batteries,that must mean there is a generator somewere too,to fuel the batt ?

Not the finest of German ingeniuty,if Im not mistaken..

@RebelSonBand 60kg of explosives cause a particularly powerfull blast.

@tvnshack I did some reading up on it,it seems that the first goliath was build-designed attack bunkers and strong points without arillery...It was to prevent the dead-lock of the trench warfare of ww1-----so if a bunker was"in the way"the goliath could be used..The A.T role was only thought about because of the mass-panzer attacks of ww2.. It seems to be able to hold 75kg and up to 100 kg explosives,but dont now what typr that was----:)

@RebelSonBand Good reading !!! This is how everyone should proceed. Then visit museums to have a clearer idea of the things.
