Goliath!

That info video is pretty cool, although that rushed attempt at camo'ing it didn't seem to work too well!  I don't think I'd fancy standing next to it though, too much margin for error by the guy with the controller.  One wrong button pushed and suddenly there's only a pair of boots left...

As I believe happened to at least one Goliath commander. In March 1945, he cunningly manouvered his Goliath into a position to attack a Soviet ammunition convoy which had got lost and stopped until its commander could get his bearings. Unfortunately on the rising ground, the German slipped and the Goliath ran over his hand, breaking his wrist. Undeterred, he wrapped his wrist in his coat and continued on. The Goliath wasn't too responsive to his one handed controls and he was run over by the beast, inflicting a nasty gash on the leg. Still, determined, the Feldwebel limped on, until he had the convoy in sight and in range. Too close really. He sent his escorts away and gave them time to escape. 

What happened next is a bit of a mystery. The escorts saw the man stand, and then jib about before a massive explosion scattered bits of him over a wide area. The thought is that he had got something caught in the guidance wire and in his efforts to free himself, unwittingly pressed the detonate.

His name? Feldwebel Fil Tekkno.

They'd never let him near one if he was in the forces.

He'd be peeling spuds, with a blunt spoon!
