[assassin801]

0:47 .... best camo ever

[DarkPrinceNH5570]

VBIED is what this is.

[12togo34]

the americans have golaiths to...but they are called creepers

[maitimu]

look even the germans had RC toys back then!

[airwolf232]

German engineers and workers had high pressure from the military! they had no choice but to obey their orders!they had to work for longer hours and military provided them food and shelter!they almost lived a life like in concentration camp!

[CouldntFindANam3]

germans had the best propaganda

[nave50cal]

@CouldntFindANam3 the americans also had propaganda. once i saw some american propaganda of solders running up and easyly killing a MG42 gunner, saying "its bark is worse than its bite" the exact oposite is true.

[TheKonistiger]

Me gusta mucho la artillería alemana viva hitler por mil años

[sErgEantaEgis12]

Nazis add such awesome and beautiful uniforms. Too bad they had to be utter assholes, so now I can't use their uniform when I want to draw stuff. Oh and yeah, they forever put a bad stigma on swastikas, wich actually used to be symbols of good stuff like renewal of life in most Asian cultures...

[sErgEantaEgis12]

I loled when the camouflage falled...

[zulubro]

what DIDN'T the Germans invent?

[dracorider]

@zulubro Jets? Had those.

Atomic bombs? Were working on that.

Space travel? *Watches Iron Sky trailer* RRRAAAUGGHH!

iPhone? Probably made those too...

[toefoo6661]

@dracorider and just any type of just one they were working on was a tail less version, similar to the modern day stealth bomber

[dracorider]

@toefoo6661 The Horten Ho 229? Yeah, have a few pictures of it on my computer.

[ramlocaj]

hostile rcxd spotted in your area.

[jvidell]

What a great concept. Sadly, though, the idea was decades ahead of the technology and it was ultimately a failure. Of course, from an allied perspective, I am glad it was a failure! :-D

[Demosthenes409]

failed camouflage XD

[Fishstick177]

This is your grandpa's RC-XD. still badass as ever.

[u7alll]

@Fishstick177 did u see the explosion? way more bad ass then an RC-XD's pussy radius

[benspreen]

the soviets had real rc tanks known as TT tanks and they were full sized!!!!!

[Citzen92]

U dont need goliath.u need Rambo.

[chew2198]

i would wonder wat will todays technology will look like if nazi germany is still around

[PvtVVitt]

It's like a Roomba that kills people!

[BlakeC94]

@PvtVVitt lmfao

[SAMagic]

I had no idea this existed until I played Company of Heroes - at first I couldn't believe it was real! Sheer ingenuity!

[zenophas]

"Hey Fritz, look what i got!" "What'd you get?" *dudes unwraps box containing GOLIATH* "It's a Goliath!" "A toy tank! We're in the middle of a war zone! And you bring a toy tank with you! You could've used that room to carry ammunition!" "Ah, but i did!" *dude pulls out controller thingy* "TANK!!!!" "Oh shit, hey! What the fuck are you doing!" *dude is sending Goliath towards Sherman* "They'll never know!" -over at the Sherman- "Aye, what the fuck is that?" "It's a to-" *Boom* "AWESOME!!"

[histoirian]

@zenophas HAHAHAHA!

[kokone9]

I saw this mini-tanks in a videogame first (Operation Darkness). I never imagined that such things existed.

[HannaPdP]

Yeah its amazing that the Goliath was part of the first wafe of robots !

[hepcecob]

@HannaPdP you should look into the russian "teletank". Came out in the 1930's

[dkurzin]

cool, its unbeleiverable that this thing can be used in 194X.....

[warslayerx]

nice technology, Germans are so advance.

[EdgeStormcrow]

i wanna talk to the drug fiend who made that thing..

[TheNigraX]

More moral than beating starving dogs to run under tanks to their deaths with explosives strapped to them like the Russians!

[knives563]

lol to bad when the russians did that the dogs ran under their tanks more than the germans cause the russians trained the dogs with their fuel so the dogs looked for that smell =|

[DudeHuge]

@TheNigraX Fuckin russians. Also The germans had robots that the US is using now, lol. I wonder what we would have if they were a super power now?

[Mckwaa]

@DudeHuge no jews...

[KerajaanNasi]

the explosion was HUGE! I wish I could bring it to school for show and tell!

[marleynrs8]

haha staged! but still a cool video.

[BLUTundGermany]

of course it was staged it said training exercise if you listen to the narrator..

[marleynrs8]

well seeing as i dont speak german,the subtitles did a better job for me.

[ashigaru]

Isn't this thing easily destroyed buy Machine gun fire or something? at least it got stuck in combat during Normandy.

[PelicanVideosInc]

Impressive, considering they had to have space for the controls and explosives in that thing. Really, it is a bit of a miracle they lost the war- they really did have some of the best technology in the war. They were fanatical and ill-guided, yes, though they were brilliant technology-wise.

[toxicair]

That was their downfall too tho.

They built tanks that could withstand several years of deployment but get shot down within months. This wasted precious manufacturing time while the americans were pumping out cheap tank after cheap tank.

Basically disposables beat quality

[BLUTundGermany]

Not a miracle to many of the heirarchy was stabbing eachother in the back.. if they would have set aside their petty differences the war would have been won and we'd all be speaking german..

[GN522Chinami]

It looks like a toy but it can kills

[airborne1promodeler]

I saw some propaganda footage of Fallschirmjäger taking on US Shermans, they used Goliath too.

But they where driving much faster.

5*****

[soberauzzie]

Wow if I was a German citizen back then, i woulda felt re-assured, LOL.

ohhh wait a second..will it stop the constant air-raids.

[shawnshawn426]

i know if i were in that tank id be stupified as to what this slow moving thing crawling toward my tank was. o_0 "what is that thing??....." ......"I dont know shoot it" BAM!! "ok whatever that was its gone now" =D

[Keinlicht]

i saw one of these in the war museum!

[KratosxD]

to think they 1 step away from mounting a gun on it and then the allied are doom. Here the steps:

build robots>mount guns>mass productions>world domination(s).

[gzadrunkgenius]

a miracle they didn't win the war

[Maverick0906]

Japanese army did this without robot. But with their own hand lol

[nobodykh]

i don't know about u ppl but to me i think this is the first robot ever built in the world

[ontelopanos]

Kaikkea se saksalainen keksii...

[thetom12345678]

very nice quality! bravo

[zillsbury]

never heard of this one before

[korn6499]

notice how the picture changed when the explosive went off....i dont think that came from the goliath!

[teamtippmann]

actually i think they gave the camera man time to move outta the way or else there would be no footage KABOOOM!!! haha ha

[Anim8edDeath]

given the tremendous amount of technology and advanced weaponry at the time, germany would have won the war, had those new weapons such as nightvision scopes, MP44s, goliaths, tiger tanks, etc... hadn't cost so much not to mention Hitler's idiotic waste of troops against russia.

[123perryv]

Maybe its just me, but the video quality on that clip was outstanding!! I don't think i've seen an WWII vintage video that didn't look battle damaged.

[ww2germans]

nice explosion

[chicagocubsforever]

actually the germans copied the goliath off of something similar tht the french were using, i cant remember if it was remote controlled or not but i do remember seeing that they got the idea of making goliaths from something french

[rbvfc13colby]

That is simply amazing that they had this during this time.  Bravo Nice Video

[modelleg]

German toymakers conscripted into war.

[alikill]

War consumes all

[XPEH999]

Немцы жгут +100

[Lockbar]

I guess it will work great if the Russian tank crew is asleep.

[xmeda]

point! :))

and I guess this device cost twice as much construction time as new T-34/85 :)))

But can be useful against bunkers, heavily defended buildings or maybe to blow small bridges, dams etc.

[gjdkdfg]

goliath's from company of heros i did'nt know they existed cuz i tried everywhere to try and find a video of germans using them

[Jack7713]

No sound!

[Cozorax]

what did the Germans not have...????

Did they have everything before the rest of the world??? They even had infrared goggles in 1944!

[HellGateDenmark]

Yes they had jets, missels and goliaths but it was not used that much.

[stukabomber44]

exactly they had it... but hitler wanted wonder weapons like the v2 or v3.... but if he used the me262 as a jet fighter, instead of a fighter bomber... the war may have been longer... and the nazis may have had more time for better weapons...

[cammand2]

They also had assult rifles, LMGs, guided missles, multi colored camouflage, spaced armor (immunity to shaped charges), protective coating (immunity to magnetic mines), light weight effective anti tank weapon (that is capable of destrying any allied tank and light enough to be given to every single soldier, therefore their infantry can become one man attack forces especially with their assult rifles)

[jvidell]

@Cozorax: They had the first true Assault Rifle!

[caiocollalto]

@Cozorax They didn't have the atomic bomb :)

[SchizoSystems]

@caiocollalto Well actually they had atomic weapons... Just to late and nothing anymore to fire them. The Americans were only capable of making an atomic bomb with the help of german scientists brought to the usa after the war in europe

[nekonsk]

Where did you manage to find this footage?

[kouji82]

Nice, I didn't know this video also had a version with sound. I posted the soundless version over a year ogo, but this one is much better with authentic voiceover!

[behahve1]

Why was this on the news?

Thought the existence of Goliath would be secret...

[bottenbreker24]

it's the "army news". these footage were only shown to soldiers for entertainment and especially morale-boosters. also, this would make german soldiers familiar with it. so if they see it, they won't wonder what it is or god forbid it, start shooting at it. a lot of the Wehrmacht's power was actually in propaganda ;)
