Goliath tiny, Maus enormous. Who now can say Germans don’t have a sense of humour?

Love how you added Johnny 5 at the end there....Johnny lol. Fun fact: The two original electric motors of the early version of the Goliath ran a cost of $6,000 USD equivilant in 1944. It was no wonder the Germans switched to a gas motor instead. Never heard of Kanal before, thanks!

I actually love using these on bridges in coh, specially when shermans and crocodiles are trying to cross it. I didnt know how dark the history of true Goliaths are.

There's an example of the Goliath at West Point Museum along with a Jeep, a staff car used by Pershing, and a French tank used by the Americans.

*Every CoH2 players either starts laughing maniacally or getting flashbacks*

As soon as I saw Goliath I knew there would be a Company of Heroes reference.

I love the fact you used Valefisk's video of him spamming goliaths. Absolute chad

The Soviets tried something similar, strapping explosives to dogs, after trying to train them to run under tanks. The dogs weren't particularly good at differentiating friendly tanks from hostile tanks, so now you have a freaked out dog with 20 lbs of explosives strapped to it, running around at random. Brilliant plan.

first ever Goliath mini tank that I saw is actually from Girls und Panzer

Both "Canal" and "Warsaw 44" are great movies.

Ive seen one of these "in the flesh" at Bovington. If i remember rightly the insides were removed to make it into a collection box at some point (maybe during the war) and the info on the "tank" at Bovington explains this. They definitely are a weird, mean looking little thing.

this concept still sought service even in northern ireland. they are known as wheelbarrow and used to disarmed bomb mostly these bombs disguised themselves as parcels.

Very informative mate. Always enjoy and learn something every time. Thanks, man.

Another great video. Never knew there was a larger version. An d never knew anything about the history of there use. Thanks for posting this informative video.

The main inspiration of many armed drones and video game drones as well like the rc xd

My grandfather was working on the development of the Borgward BIVs in the final months of the war, with the addition of 6 88mm rocket tubes. We stumbled upon his picture during an inspection by some higher ranking German personnel. You can find this picture by Googling "Borgward BIV Crew" and he is the crew man nearest the camera on the right side of the photo. He lived a life time and a half prior to leaving Germany and creating a new legacy. Remarkable men were forged in that era, on both sides.

I read about their use during the Normandy invasion in Joseph Balkoski’s book Utah Beach. Unfortunately when the Americans first encountered one, they thought of it as a bit of a joke. Until it went off killing around 50 soldiers. However, most of them were incapacitated by the preparatory aerial and naval bombardments.

Congratulations on 50K subscribers!

Thanks for sharing such videos with us.

So sad how that French designer didn't want that weapon in the hands of Germans, tried to destroy it, only for it to be captured and refined to be used as a terror weapon. Imagine inadvertently creating a weapon that killed hundreds of unassuming people wielded by the people that took over your country.

Something I knew very little about. Cheers JJ.

great vid! loved seeing the coh1 gameplay haha

In the book "Sie kommen!" from Paul Carell, about the german perspective from the landing on D-Day and the 80 days long battle of france. Theres is discribe a action from "Goliath" tank during the landing, i hope remember right, who GI´s are see for the first time this mini-tank and drop grenades on in. That was here last action from the GI´s and the Goliath exploded.

I like how you showed that part from Short Circuit

I remember reading about these in a picture book about different inventions.

Do a video on the Fieseler Storch

it always baffled me that they made these things out of so much metal, the armor wasn't thick enough to protect it from even handgun caliber fire and since it was a disposable weapon regardless, why not make the frame out of cheaper wood instead and pack the explosives with fragmented metal.

Which movie was that at the beginning?????

For something that supposed to be esencialy small bomb on tracks, there sure are a lot of them in museums. Like literaly, every single major WW2 museum I've visited had one.

3:43 wait, that was Valefisks video, wasn't it?

"it's a toy Tank"-author morgen

Amazing thats why I love guns since I was a kid

Many of these Goliath vehicles were discovered on Utah beach by the Americans. Utah beach was so accurately bombed from the air that fighting there only lasted 30 minutes with only 40 casualties before the beach was secure. The Americans afterward found these in little cubby holes along the beach and didn’t know what they were. One American decided to throw a grenade inside one of them which resulted in an enormous explosion that killed 12 Americans increasing the casualty rate to 52.

sometimes germans were so comfy they would just activate the timer and leave entire vechicle to blow up also there's a picture from berlin with that vechicle with 9 panzershreck's mounted as last ditch attempt at stopping the advancing russians picture has all panzerschrecks fired but there's nothing about combat effectivness

Omg I wish I could share this post I have a bunch of mouth breathers telling me they didn't have remote controlled devices during WWII

One of the many wonder weapons that came out of the war. Up there with pigeon guided missiles and high altitude balloon bombs.

Imaging in the trenches seeing a tiny tank coming straight at you

Could you do the kubelwagen?

In ideal practice the goliath should be use to clear fortified position in urban combat. In MoW Assault Squad i just spam this funny vehicle to destroy places before infantry rush as German faction in game lack artilery.

There was a 2. heavier vatiant that was named ,,Mittlerer Landungsträger" or ,,medium Charge carrier"(Sd.Kfz. 304) nick name Springer.

In Wrocław - my home city - there are two vehicles in museums. Military Museum have Goliath with combustion engine that is remain from defence in 1945 ("Festung Breslau"). Other vehicle is in Museum of Army Engineers and it's curious one - generally it looks similar to Goliaths, yet there are some clear differences. More so, there is no information in German archives about it.

"Civillian houses occupied by resistance fighters". There is a word for that you know, it's called a legitemate military target.

Wow never knew it was actually french.

I'm stumped do you have a video on the Spitfire if so can you please send me a link

Fun fact the goliaht si op in codm ist hard to kill

At 0:14, that looks like a Maus tank in the background. If it is, it's historically inaccurate. ;)

Very cool video Johnny! I never knew such small tanks existed. 🤓

Wow nice movies Johnny

I like the CoH footage lmao.

Man I thought this tank is only obtainable by getting a kill streak

m26 pershing and m46 patton tanks now

The Goliath mini tank name is maybe derived from the Biblical and Quranic stories David and Goliath where Goliath who was heavily armoured died by a simple man called David who we call In Islam Dawoud the name explains the functionality it is a small remote tank you might mock it but fear not it can make a heavy damage. And yes from Company of heroes experience this one can be helpful in battlefields such as destroying bridges exploding the front lines anything to cripple enemy advancing which beneficial to the Germans.

That was a wast of material

I only know about Goliath from Company of Heroes 😂 so cool the game makes an appearance here 😂😂

Der "Goliath" war kein Panzer, er war ein leichter Ladungsträger.

The first RC-XD

Can you make a small film about the congressional Medal of Honor in movies?

clearly the precursor to the british wheel barrow bomb disposal ROV - a much better use of the technology

"Tanks" for the history lesson. lol

Im kinda frustrated you didnt include the video of the gis riding around on a goliath

I like how Brits and American having fun with those, they treat it like Bumper cars or adult only remote control car 🤣

It could be a great toy tank if we removed explosive in it )))

*DALEKS!*

Not gonna lie I thought activision literally just made this up for COD Vanguard lol. I was like "Oh come on that's not realistic there weren't tank drones in WW2" glad to know it's real.

Best german humor, calling a mini exploding tank "goliath" and a super heavy tank with a weight of 188 tons "mouse". 😁

4:05 What happened to my boy R.O.B.

Great job for getting 50,000

Too bad the Goliath wasn't in the "Uprising" (2001) movie!

Number five is alive!

Make a video showing all the Vietnam War movies that use Fortunate Son.

The Goliath is also known as the "Nazi Death Roomba"

Little mark iv

Germans always had cool stuff, more population they would have won the war.

Short Circuit 🤣😂

I love the name US troops gave these, they called them doodlebugs

let me guess the father of the modern drones

So basically an unmanned bomb huh?

Ah Yes... The Mobile Bomb... I remember Spamming those in Company of Heroes, Back in the Day where I used to Play Online Matches (Now I don't cuz of the Toxicity of Players I've Encountered, like a *LOT* of times... thought I Managed to Beat them off to the Point of them Rage Quit or when My Internet Connection Gives in and Fucks me Over, anyways...) the Mere sight of a Platoon of these Little Guys was Enough to make them Curse in Chat and Rage Quit, or a Steady Stream of these Explosives on Tracks.... Only Possible when Resources Permits however.... Either way.... Its a Terror Weapon Through and Through, and I Love it! On a somewhat Related Note, I've always Considered this Little Boi Cute... Like a Remote Controlled Car... Because it is.... with a Large Pack of Explosives in it... I also Enjoy seeing Historical Footage and Pics of Soldiers Seeing them First Time, and Subsequently doing Stupid Shit with it... like Ridding them Around, always manages to Crack a Smile on my Face Also I Love the Johnny 5 was use as the Outro of this Video.... kind of Fitting for a Channel Named Johnny Johnson, lols Good Stuff my Friend! Keep up the Amazingly Awesome Work my Friend! Keep the Good Shit Coming!

I always wonder why U.S.A. and The British did not help Warsaw?

Johnny five! 😄

NUMBER FIVE IS STILL ALIVE

Vanguard players may recognize this... a field upgrade... (P/s: cod vanguard is so sick and sucks, goddamn ex1 laser rifle, goddamn fn f2000 auto rifle, goddamn false history, goddamn collab characters,...)

Brave German soldiers! 💪😺👍🍀🐺

POV : you just landed onto the beach head and found a fun RC mini tank toy to play with Man...if only the Yanks knew what it was xD

The Russian's just used dog's with HE to run under the tank where it was trained to look for food!😞😞

It was a failure. The controller had to be really close and that usually meant death

Mini drone of WWII. Not perfect

eArlY🥴

I think the name The Goliath must be propaganda to scare the enemies

shut up and take my money

Polish Resistance: Ha ha ha Germans must be desperate their using cute mini tanks😂 Me a WW2 weapons expert: That's a bomb on tracks😐

ALLAHU AKBAAAA-

Brave German soldiers! 💪😺👍🍀🐺
