The B IV Demolition Charge Layer Schwere Ladungsträger (Sd Kfz 301)
During the invasion of France in 1940 a number of Panzer Is were converted into demolition vehicles for use on mines, pillboxes and fortifications. The success of these improvised vehicles lead to the development of a specialised vehicle, the Borgward B IV (B IV).
The B IV was designed so that it could be driven by an on board crew man within a safe distance of its intended target.
It was then radio controlled for the remainder of the distance to the target where the explosive pack on the front could be released before the vehicle was withdrawn and the explosives detonated. http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=1020
