Historical Context:
The Raupenschlepper Ost (RSO) was developed in response to the harsh conditions of the Eastern Front, where conventional wheeled vehicles struggled. Its fully tracked design and robust construction allowed it to traverse muddy and snowy terrains effectively. The early production models, like the RSO/01, featured a pressed-steel cab with a truck-like appearance. Approximately 23,000 units of all RSO versions were produced during the war, serving primarily as cargo carriers and artillery tractors.
