Goliath Demolition Tank

It sounds ironic but like the Maus Super Heavy Tank, these tanks are anything but massive, so they were aptly named Goliath! It is a type of remote controlled demolition tank invented by the Germans during World War 2. They were designed to be steered by remote onto an enemy tank or a strong-point and to be detonated upon contact.
