Schwere Ladungsträger B-IV
Sd.Kfz.301



In 10/1941 a requirement arose for the development of a heavy remotely controlled demolition vehicle carrying a 500 kg explosive charge. Such a machine was developed at Borgward. The vehicle was developed on the platform of the VK 302 ammunition transporter in 1942. It was a heavy demolition vehicle designed to demolish heavily fortified pockets of resistance. It moved to the scene of the fighting and into action, driven by one man. In the event of a dangerous firefight, when there was a risk of injury to the crew, it was guided remotely from a guide vehicle(PzKpfw.III, StuG III, Pz.Kpfw. VI Ausf.E "Tiger"). The vehicle was without armament. On the front of the hull it carried a steel box with 500kg of TNT, which it placed on the ground and moved away after approaching the target. The charge was fired remotely using ultra short wave (UKV). Detonation was also accomplished by activating a hidden detonator if the enemy attempted to open the casing of this charge on the captured machine. The machine was intended to be used for both single point target destruction and area mine clearance, where mines within a 40 metre radius were defused when 500 kg of explosive was detonated.
Three modifications of this vehicle were created.


B IVaB IVa


The first 12 B IVa were completed in 4/1942 and mass production was planned. However, only 120 units of this vehicle were produced in total. This version had only the nose armoured. The belts had rubber pads fitted. The driver seated on the right side of the vehicle had a simple plexiglass wind shield.


B IVb


Second serial form. It was almost identical to the B IVa version, but the machine had improved armour protection (the sides and rear were armoured as well). The driver had armoured protective shields surrounding him from the front and sides.


Series production gave a total of 218 B IVs in 1942 and 650 in 1943. In 12/1943 the design was upgraded to the B IVc version.
The first combat deployment took place in 6/1942 during the fighting for Sevastopol. The machines produced were assigned to 1. and 2. Kompanie/Panzer Abteilung 300 (F.L.). The machines were remotely guided by modified Pz.Kpfw.III steerable tanks (versions with 5 cm guns). Other units that were created were the Panzer Kompanie (Fkl) 312, 313 and 314, which intervened in the fighting in Operation Citadel. According to the order of 1/1943, each unit was to consist of 36 B IV and 10 Pz.Kpfw.III (5cm) or StuG III guidance tanks.

Tento stroj bol ukoristený povstalcami vo Varšave. Pri presune do tylu sa pokazil motor. Vodič, ktorý ho viedol sa pokúsil opraviť chybu, ale nepoznal tento typ zbrane. Obkolesený davom povstalcov otvoril kryt nálože, pretože si pravdepodobne myslel, že tam je motor. Trhavina explodovala a okolie bolo po opadnutí mračna prachu posiate mŕtvymi a zranenými. Odhadom zahynulo viac než 300 ľudí.

Interesting version with floats. This is probably an attempt to make an amphibious version of this demolition machine.
