Zvesda WC – 52 US WWII military multipurpose 3/4 t vehicle
Production of the multi-purpose all-wheel drive military all-terrain vehicles WC-52 began in 1941. The weapons carrier was equipped with a winch Braden MU-2 with a towing capacity of 3.400 kg. To accommodate the winch – the WC-52 was built with a longer frame compared to the WC-51.
The winch could be used for various tasks, such as recovery of vehicles. In addition to cargo and troop transport, the vehicle could tow a trailer or a gun weighing up to 2 tons. The nearly 25.000 WC 52 supplied to the Soviet Union under the lend-lease program were often used for towing the ZIS-3 76mm anti-tank gun.
From 1941 to the end of the war a total of 59.000 WC-52s were built. They served not only in the U.S. Army, but were also supplied to Great Britain, the USSR, China, Brazil, and the Free French Army.
