Product Information

 Captured German Goliath tracked mines on Utah Beach, Normandy. Goliaths were seen on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day, though most were rendered inoperative due to artillery blasts severing their command cables. D-Day, June 6, 1944.

 Although a total of 7,564 Goliaths were produced, the single use weapon was not considered a success due to the high unit cost, low speed (6 mph, or 9.5 km/h), poor ground clearance (11.4 centimeters), vulnerable command cables and thin armour which failed to protect the remote bomb from any form of antitank weapons. The Goliath did help lay the foundation for post-WW2 advances in remote-controlled vehicle technologies.
