The Leichte Ladungstrager (SdKfz 302) or 'Goliath' was a German, unmanned, expendable, remote-controlled (wire) tracked demolition charge of the Second World War produced from 1942 until 1944. The Goliath evolved from the earlier Borgward B 1, and rather than towing mine-demolition rollers carried a 60 kg explosive charge which could be used to clear mines and other obstacles. In 1943 a new version, the SdKfz 303 was produced which could carry a 75 kg explosive charge. This version was powered by a 703 cc motorcycle engine.
