History and Use of the T72 Gun Motor Carriage

The T72 Gun Motor Carriage was an American self-propelled tank destroyer, designed at the end of the Second World War. Its construction was based on the chassis of the M5 light personnel carrier, with a primary weapon of a 76 mm gun mounted in an open superstructure. The T72 was created to provide rapid infantry support and to engage German armored vehicles on the European front. Although the project only reached the prototype stage and was never used operationally, it represented an important step in the US Army’s development of self-propelled vehicles and was tested on training grounds in the USA during 1944–1945.
