I thought that they were called Goliath after the Goliath beetle. They were for clearing minefields and bunkers and such. These are "teleoperated" weapons in todays lingo. I think a good weapon would have been to make it a little larger and bullet proof and mount a flame thrower. Lewis

I am wondering if those two tigers were produced at the end of the war. I have read somewhere that the same was true for other german armor towards the end of the war. Namely lack of raw materials and taking shortcuts. The Germans used an electric current hardening process I believe on armor also. Maybe this step was skipped just to get a mobile 88mm out to the troops?. In any event, I wonder if there are American "shoots" done on captured armored vehicles. Perhaps buried somewhere at Aberdeen. Lewis PS At Aberdeen by the way is a JagdTigerII with a front hull hit right on the interlocking welds. Whatever hit it didnt go through but definitely caused daylight to appear inside.
