Goliath tiny, Maus enormous. Who now can say Germans don’t have a sense of humour?
I had a girlfriend from Munich who had an awesome sense of humor, it was dry and wry and she delivered it so deadpan it went over most people's heads... which was her point and how she drew humor from their literal interpretations... she was willful yet whimsical.
German humor is no laughing matter.
@@rexmundi3108, 9.
@@warpartyattheoutpost4987Germans are funny
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!
its also no wonder they lost the War with such incompetent allocation of their limited resources
@@malakiblunt Yep. Too many grandiose projects. And too many companies and "yes men" trying to please der Fuhrer.
@@garfieldsmith332 and lots of ambitious men building their own fiefdoms in various government jobs/manufacturing
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.
Try men of war assault squad 2, way better then company of heroes
And more realistic
@Velorn Goliaths are terrifying in that game lol
As soon as I saw Goliath I knew there would be a Company of Heroes reference.
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*
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.
I almost did a video on the dogs awhile back but got depressed researching it =/
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq I'm a dog lover. They had to be either totally callous, or extremely desperate. I lean towards callous, based on the way they fed men into the meat grinder.
@@jackstecker5796 and still are...
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq Truth
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq The same accusation must surely be made to Ukrainian (NATO?) leaders then, having shredded hundreds of thousands of their men in Bakhmut and elsewhere?
I love the fact you used Valefisk's video of him spamming goliaths. Absolute chad
first ever Goliath mini tank that I saw is actually from Girls und Panzer
Damn I knew I forgot that one!
For me it was from seeing someone spam Goliaths in Company of Heroes here on TH-cam
Edit: just saw that Johnny actually put clips from the video in here lol that’s great
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq to be fair I also forgot GuP has a Goliath in it
Chief like I haven’t watched it because I don’t like anime but god fucking damn that show seems like the worst thing man will ever create, and I hope aliens never find a trace of it because they with a bunch of historical context would just blow the entire fucking earth up
Ah yeah when instead of blowing up opponent panzers, they were equipped with sonar or something to find other panzers to be used in the competition. Cool stuff yet still with tons of respect to history this anime~
Both "Canal" and "Warsaw 44" are great movies.
I wonder if they are on Netflix or Paramount+ ? 🤔
@@mistergrendel32 both are on YT, unfortunately no subtitles. Warsaw 44 (Miasto 44) is on Polish Netflix, I don't know about US.
@@MichalKaczorowski Thank you. I’ll check it out. 🤓
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.
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.
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.
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.
Very informative mate. Always enjoy and learn something every time. Thanks, man.
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.
Because they can be disarmed with their explosives removed to become inert
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.
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.
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.
Do a video on the Fieseler Storch
I remember reading about these in a picture book about different inventions.
I like how you showed that part from Short Circuit
Johnny 5 is alive!
There was a 2. heavier vatiant that was named ,,Mittlerer Landungsträger" or ,,medium Charge carrier"(Sd.Kfz. 304) nick name Springer.
3:43 wait, that was Valefisks video, wasn't it?
"Civillian houses occupied by resistance fighters". There is a word for that you know, it's called a legitemate military target.
Thanks for sharing such videos with us.
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.
Something I knew very little about. Cheers JJ.
Amazing thats why I love guns since I was a kid
its a vehicle though
Congratulations on 50K subscribers!
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.
One of the many wonder weapons that came out of the war. Up there with pigeon guided missiles and high altitude balloon bombs.
don't forget the bat bomb and the rat bomb
You forgot Anti-Tank Dog.
Turning good boy into suicidal bad boy! 😈😈😈
At 0:14, that looks like a Maus tank in the background. If it is, it's historically inaccurate. ;)
look more like an attempt to replicate tiger 1 with a t34
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.
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
Fun fact the goliaht si op in codm ist hard to kill
So basically an unmanned bomb huh?
why would you man a bomb ?
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
Imaging in the trenches seeing a tiny tank coming straight at you
"it's a toy Tank"-author morgen
great vid! loved seeing the coh1 gameplay haha
Which movie was that at the beginning?????
Wow never knew it was actually french.
The Goliath is also known as the "Nazi Death Roomba"
ah man I should have put a Roomba clip in here. I missed out on a good laugh.
@@JohnnyJohnsonEsq someone put roomba innards in a disarmed mine
Der "Goliath" war kein Panzer, er war ein leichter Ladungsträger.
That was a wast of material
m26 pershing and m46 patton tanks now
I like the CoH footage lmao.
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.
Can you make a small film about the congressional Medal of Honor in movies?
An interesting idea. I'll see what I can do
I only know about Goliath from Company of Heroes 😂 so cool the game makes an appearance here 😂😂
Very cool video Johnny! I never knew such small tanks existed.
🤓
Best german humor, calling a mini exploding tank "goliath" and a super heavy tank with a weight of 188 tons "mouse". 😁
Well, they were not going to name it 'David' for obvious reasons, even if that would have been more appropriate given its size vs its target
The first RC-XD
Man I thought this tank is only obtainable by getting a kill streak
Im kinda frustrated you didnt include the video of the gis riding around on a goliath
ah I should have I know
"Tanks" for the history lesson. lol
4:05
What happened to my boy R.O.B.
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.
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!
Could you do the kubelwagen?
Absolutely.
Germans always had cool stuff, more population they would have won the war.
I like how Brits and American having fun with those, they treat it like Bumper cars or adult only remote control car 🤣
clearly the precursor to the british wheel barrow bomb disposal ROV - a much better use of the technology
*DALEKS!*
I always wonder why U.S.A. and The British did not help Warsaw?
It could be a great toy tank if we removed explosive in it )))
Too bad the Goliath wasn't in the "Uprising" (2001) movie!
Lol because Goliata was not used in Warsaw ghetto uprising. It was very small combat. Very few germans died during it snd was no need to use souch thing.
I'm stumped do you have a video on the Spitfire if so can you please send me a link
Actually I don't just yet! Hopefully in the next few weeks.
Great job for getting 50,000
Number five is alive!
Wow nice movies Johnny
let me guess the father of the modern drones
Make a video showing all the Vietnam War movies that use Fortunate Son.
lol that would be a long one. And the copyright gods would devour it.
Short Circuit 🤣😂
I love the name US troops gave these, they called them doodlebugs
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,...)
Little mark iv
NUMBER FIVE IS STILL ALIVE
Brave German soldiers! 💪😺👍🍀🐺
Johnny five! 😄
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
I think the name The Goliath must be propaganda to scare the enemies
Or confuse Allied intelligence
Mini drone of WWII. Not perfect
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
I have seen a photo somewhere of a Goliath captured by Americans
one of them has figured out that if you reel the control wire most of the way in, you can sit on top of the little tank and drive yourself around.
found it

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😐
🤦🤦🤦🤦🤡🤡🤡🤡
To be fair, it's not widely used
eArlY🥴
ALLAHU AKBAAAA-
Brave German soldiers! 💪😺👍🍀🐺
