History: The M12 155mm GMC was introduced in 1942 and served with distinction during the later stages of World War II. Nicknamed the “King Kong” by its crews, the M12’s massive firepower was used to destroy heavily fortified positions, including German bunkers along the Siegfried Line. Though only around 100 units were built, the M12 proved the effectiveness of mobile heavy artillery, influencing postwar self-propelled gun development and contributing significantly to Allied fire support operations in Europe.
