Serious question guys

What were these used for?

They are Goliaths. They were a sort of radio controlled mine. They were driven by a wire connected to the operator and were driven to where they were needed (e.g. under a tank), and blown up.

Hi Im in a WW2 living history group and did toy with the idea of a 1:1 goliath after seeing one with another group . I think they are controled by cables rather than radio control but I could be wrong .
