Historical Overview and Use

The 7.5cm PaK 40/4 auf RSO is an improvised self-propelled anti-tank gun based on the Raupenschlepper Ost (RSO) tracked tractor and the famous 75 mm PaK 40 anti-tank gun. The Germans developed this vehicle in response to the difficulties of moving equipment in the harsh conditions of the Eastern Front. Produced in small numbers from 1943, the RSO with PaK 40 gun was used on the Eastern Front mainly by the Wehrmacht between 1943 and 1945. It served in operations against Soviet tanks and armored vehicles, and thanks to its light construction and tracks, it handled well on the muddy and snowy backroads of Eastern Europe.
