Can someone please verify that the Goliath is actually the same as the Beetle tank with a citation? Thanks! Tntdj (talk) 18:52, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Uncited D-Day addition
A few were also seen on the beaches of Normandy during D-Day, though inoperative because the command cables were cut by the artillery barrages. At first their purpose was not wholly clear to the GIs, until one of them dropped a grenade into one and killed him and a dozen of his fellow soldiers.
"Though inoperative" means what—they all were rendered inoperative on the way to their targets? Were the Goliaths sitting out with their cables extended during the pre-assault barrage, or was artillery brought to bear on them? Does GIs imply they were only used on the U.S. landing beaches? Does "killed him" refer to killing the Goliath, or does that mean a GI "killed himself" and a dozen of his comrades, and how did the grenade get inside the armoured Goliath?
Please provide a citation and clear up the ambiguity. —MichaelZ. 2006-08-14 05:29 Z
