Unique ID: 990 Added to Database: August 2009 Last Edited: August 2009 Type (ID): M7 Priest (1500) Model (ID): M7 Priest (1502) Location Category (ID): Le Grand Bunker Musée du Mur de l'Atlantique (6065) Location (ID): Atlantic Wall Museum (6065) Serial Number: Registration: Name: Other Identification: Collection Reference: Links: References: Associated Tanks: Location History: (see map) 1: American Locomotive Company, Schenectady, Schenectady County, New York, USA (Primary manufacturer from April 1942-1944) 2: Le Grand Bunker Musée du Mur de l'Atlantique, Ouistreham, Calvados, Basse-Normandie, France (Current location) This M7 no longer has its previous green paint scheme, and is likely to be in the process of being repainted. It appears to have a sheet metal fitting in place of its mantlet. It is believed that this Priest was acquired from the Commes collection (source: T. Royall) where it was previously on display. It was therefore one of three recovered from an LCT (Landing Craft Tank) on the sea-bed, three miles off Port-en-Bessin, in 1982. They had lain there since the LCT had been sunk on D-Day, 6 June 1944. The other M7s went to Saumur and the artillery regiment at Valbonne.
