WTF is this WWII concept? (5 Photos)

It was meant to clear minefields.

It looked like a bouncing bomb at first but the pic at the bottom f'd that up. It's a crazy concept but probably wouldn't go over a war torn terrain.

it's like the Sony Rolly

It's in the Kubinka tank museum , close to Moscow.

It was captured by the Soviets from the Japanese, and simply listed as "article 66" and an import from germany, so nobody knows what its' purpose was. My guess is it was used as a portable testicular joke generator on the battlefield.

ps-I can't remember what number the izdelie was. 66 sounds coolest.
