A Kangaroo was a Canadian armoured personnel carrier (APC) during the Second World War which was created by converting a tank chassis. Kangaroos were created as an expedient measure "in the field" by the Canadian Army, and were so successful that they were used by other Commonwealth forces, including the British Army. Their ability to manoeuvre in the field with tanks was a major advantage over earlier designs, and led to the dedicated APC designs that were introduced by almost all armies immediately after the war.

  • Der Ram Kangaroo war ein gepanzerter Mannschaftstransporter im Zweiten Weltkrieg aus kanadischer Produktion. Das Fahrzeug basierte auf dem Cruiser Tank Ram Mk I. Beim Umbau wurde nur der Turm entfernt und elf primitive Sitze sowie Handgriffe für besseres Ein- und Aussteigen eingebaut. Das MG in der Wanne wurde behalten. Der Kangaroo wurde von der britischen verwendet. (de)

  • El Kangaroo era un transporte blindado de tropa de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Creado por los canadienses a partir de los chasis de distintos carros de combate como el Ram o el Churchill. Pronto fue adoptado también por los británicos por su buena maniobrabilidad para acompañar a los carros de combate. (es)
  • Le transport de troupes Kangaroo est un véhicule de transport de troupes blindé développé durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale à partir du châssis d'un canon automoteur de M7 Priest. Conçu comme une réponse rapide au transport coordonné de l'infanterie et des blindés durant l’opération Totalize par le lieutenant général Guy Simonds pour les troupes canadiennes, ils se montrèrent si efficaces que les Britanniques et les Américains adoptèrent rapidement le concept. Leur habileté de manœuvre sur le front leur donnait un avantage majeur sur les tentatives antérieures de créer un transport blindé pour les fantassins. Ils sont l'ancêtre des transports de troupes modernes. (fr)

  • De Kangaroo is een gepantserd infanterietransportvoertuig dat tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog ontwikkeld is op het chassis van de M7 Priest-houwitser. De Kangaroo werd ontwikkeld door generaal Guy Simonds als een snelle oplossing voor het gecoördineerde transport van Canadese infanterie en tanks tijdens Operatie Totalize. Het voertuig bleek zo doeltreffend dat de Britten en de Amerikanen dit concept al gauw overnamen. De wendbaarheid van de Kangaroo op het slagveld was een groot pluspunt ten opzichte van eerdere ontwerpen voor een gepantserd infanterievoertuig. De Kangaroo is de voorloper van de moderne infanterietransportvoertuigen. (nl)
