Introduction

The Storm Division's first task would be to break through the thick minefields laid in front of the Soviet 148th Rifle Division's 469th Rifle Regiment. To assist them, all of the divisions on this front had been assigned companies of the B IV "Goliath" demolition vehicles. In essence, miniature unmanned tanks that would blow up the mines and clear a path for the German armor to follow. In this case, the Storm division had an attached battalion of Ferdinand tank destroyers (late renamed "Elefant") and its own assault gun detachment.

Conclusion

Very few of the toy tanks reached their intended minefield targets, but those that did so blew enough holes in the defenses to allow the massive Ferdinands to waddle through, followed by the storm troops. With strong air support, the Storm Division advanced ten kilometers on the first day of the offensive, the greatest penetration of any Ninth Army division. That success would not be equaled again during the Kursk campaign by any Ninth Army formation.
