Borgward IV Demolition Vehicle

The Borgward IV was a German tracked demolition carrier designed to deliver an explosive charge near a target. A driver could move it during transit, after which radio control allowed the vehicle to approach the dangerous final position without an onboard operator. It was larger and more complex than the small Goliath demolition vehicle. Wartime employment revealed the practical difficulties of remote control, protection, and precise delivery under battlefield conditions. The vehicle carried an explosive charge toward a target under remote control after being positioned by its driver. Unlike a small expendable demolition carrier, the Borgward was intended to withdraw after releasing its load. Battlefield control, terrain, and the vulnerability of the delivery vehicle complicated this attempt to mechanize dangerous demolition work.
