Historical Information

The M7 Priest, officially Howitzer Motor Carriage M7, was designed and produced in the United States from 1942. It was widely used by the armies of the USA, the United Kingdom, and other Allied countries during World War II and the Korean War. Equipped with a 105 mm howitzer, it earned the nickname "Priest" due to the distinctive pulpit-like structure for the commander, which resembled a church lectern. It participated in campaigns in North Africa, Italy, Normandy, and the march to Berlin.
