Informations supplémentaires

The Goliath tank-mine was a remote-controlled demolition vehicle, carrying 60 or 100 kilogrammes (130 or 220 lbs) of high explosives. The tank-mine was controlled by 650 metres of a three-strip cable, two strands being used to move and steer the vehicle and the third being used for detonation. During the 1944 Warsaw Uprising, St John's Archcathedral became a place of struggle between the insurgents and German forces. The Germans drove a Goliath tank-mine towards the Cathedral and broke down part of the walls. After the suppression of the Uprising, the Germans demolished the cathedral, which was rebuilt after the war in 14th century style (rather than the pre-war style). The inscription above the track in the wall of the cathedral along Dziekania Street reads: 'Caterpillar of a German tank-mine "Goliath", which during the Warsaw Uprising broke down the walls of the cathedral.'
