Historical background

The self-propelled howitzer M7 Priest was developed by the United States to provide artillery support for its ground forces. The vehicle was based on the chassis of the M3 Lee/Grant tank, and got its "Priest" nickname thanks to its distinctive pulpit-like gun mount. It was intensively used from 1942 by American, British, Canadian, and other Allied armies. The M7 Priest became especially renowned during the North African campaign, the landings in Sicily, and in combat on the Western Front following the Normandy landings.

Historical period and usage

The model represents a vehicle from the World War II period (1942–1945). Units equipped with the M7 Priest supported the Allied offensive in both urban warfare and maneuver operations, becoming an icon of Allied self-propelled artillery.
