At the beginning of World War II, the US Army had light and lightly armed vehicles, so-called “scout cars,” for reconnaissance.
The M8 "Greyhound" armored car, developed during the war and characterized by increased protection and more powerful armament, represented a turning point for the American army.
The vehicle offered greater operational flexibility and could be used more effectively to support ground forces thanks to the 37 mm gun installed in the turret.
First deployed on the Italian front from Monte Cassino to Anzio, she later took part in the D-Day operations in June 1944.
Although the terrain in Normandy proved difficult and challenging in the early stages of the operation, the M8 was highly valued for its speed and versatility.
It was used not only by the US Army, but also by other Allied countries.
