M7 Priest
M7 Priest (oficiálně 105 mm Howitzer Motor Carriage(HMC) M7) byla americká 105mm samohybná houfnice montovaná na podvozek tanku M3 Lee, od varianty M7B1 pak na podvozek tanku Sherman. Za druhé světové války tvořila standardní výzbroj jednotek samohybného dělostřelectva obrněných divizí americké armády po roce 1942. Poprvé bylo vozidlo M7 bojově nasazeno britskou armádou v bitvě u El Alameinu.
The 105 mm Howitzer Motor Carriage M7 was an American self-propelled artillery vehicle produced during World War II. It was given the official service name 105 mm Self Propelled Gun, Priest by the British Army, due to the pulpit-like machine gun ring, and following on from the Bishop and the contemporary Deacon self-propelled guns.
