The Tank Museum Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 A mobile bomb on tracks! Powered by an Opel Olympia car engine it was intended to replace earlier designs such as the Goliath. The Springer contained 330KG of explosive; it would have been driven as close to the target as possible then continued under radio control and detonated by the same means...

Enigma Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Based on the Kettenkrad by the looks of it. Looks like a waste of resourses or were they effective? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pzkpfw-e Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Based on the HK102 5-seater version! Effective? Since only about 50 of them were built (2 known survivors) in the last year of WW2, I'd say no! A waste not quite on the same scale as its little Brother the Goliath!
