Sdkfz. 302 Goliath (302 leichter Ladungsträger Ausf. A Goliath; 303 leichter Ladungsträger Ausf. B Goliath)
A remote-controlled combat vehicle designed to destroy a target using a powerful charge. It was powered by two Bosch electric motors, one for each belt, powered by batteries. It also included a control vehicle. This ensured transport to the place of discharge and was controlled from it using two, 2000 meters long cables. This solution ensured that each engine could be controlled separately. It was also experimented with the Zundapp two-stroke internal combustion engine and radio remote control. For the first time, Goliath was deployed in combat in the Battle of the Curonian Spit, and later used during the Allied invasion of Normandy and the Ardennes. Due to its low speed and low ground clearance, it proved most effective against static targets such as field fortifications and barricades. He did this in suppressing the Warsaw Uprising.
Technical data: Length: 1600 mm Width: 660 mm Height: 610 mm Weight: 362 kg Weight of transported charge: 91 kg

light charging strippers Sd.Kfz.302 (E Engine)
Development for a small vehicle designed to demolish point targets was commissioned in late 1940. Specifications specified that the vehicle should carry about 50 kg of explosives, should be powered by two electric motors with a power of 2.5 kW, which were to give the vehicle speed of about 8-10 km/throw. Only the front of the machine should have protection against small-caliber projectiles and should consist of 6 mm thick armor. The sides and back were made of classic steel and were practically unprotected from shooting. The vehicle was to be remotely controlled using two telephone cables. The first experimental series of 15 pieces of Goliaths was completed in 4/1942. Subsequent series production of this version gave the following numbers:
weight: 370 kg explosive weight: 60 kg length: 1.5 m width: 0.85 m altitude: 0.65 m motor: 2 x electric motor Bosch MM/RQL 2500/24 RL2 (2 x 2.5 kW) max speed: 10 km/h fuel supply: 2 x electric battery access to the road: 1.5 km off-road access: 0.8 km armor: 5 mm
leichte Ladungsträger Sd.Kfz.303a (V Motor)
The second serial version of the machine was powered by a two-stroke two-cylinder internal combustion engine. The slightly elongated version was to carry a 75 kg charge and the front part was to be protected by a 10 mm thick armor. This version was marked Sd.Kfz.303a.
weight: 365 kg explosive weight: 75 kg length: 1.62 m width: 0.84 m altitude: 0.60 m engine: 2-cylinder Zündapp SZ7 703 cm3 (12.5 hp at 4500 rpm) max speed: 11 km/h fuel supply: 6 l access to the road: 12 km armor: 10 mm
light load striker Sd.Kfz.303b (V Motor)
It is essentially the same vehicle as Sd.Kfz.303a with the difference that it carried up to 100 kg of explosive charges.
weight: 430 kg explosive weight: 100 kg length: 1.69 m width: 0.91 m altitude: 0.62 m engine: 2-cylinder Zündapp SZ7 703 cm3 (12.5 hp at 4500 rpm) max speed: 11.5 km/h fuel supply: 6 l access to the road: 12 km off-road access: 6-8 km
Serial production began in 4/1943 and gave the following numbers of pieces produced:
1943 - 2112 pcs 1944 - 2694 pcs 1945 - 123 pcs
So a total of 4929 pieces.
The first unit to test Goliath machines was 3.mittlere Panzer Kompanie/Panzer Abteilung 300 (F.L.). The first combat deployment was in the fighting in the Crimea, near Sevastopol in 6/1942. Other units were created in 11/1942, namely Panzer Pionier Company (G) 811 and subsequently in 12/1942 Pz.Pi.Kp. (G) 812, 813 and 814. According to the organizational regulation, each of these units was to have 162 Goliaths and 22 engineers Sd.Kfz.251/7. Pz.Pi.Kp. 811 and Pz.Pi.Kp.813 were deployed at Kursk in Operation Citadel in 1943. Later in 1944 they had Goliášov Sd.Kfz.303 in standard armament Panzer Bataillony in numbers 30 pcs each.
There is mention of radio-controlled testing of Goliath, which had a flipping igniter. Wendelin Gott, a former employee of the Potsdam Ambulance Service , provided information.

The whole construction was technologically relatively simple, most of the components were extruded from sheet metal, only the necessary minimum was cast

Alternativním nákladem k několika desítkám kilogramů trhaviny mohl být i pěšák US Army. Vzhledem k vysoké siluetě bojového prostředku se tato kombinace v boji neosvědčila. Ale jako námět na diorama by to nebylo špatný.
