The RSO is a World War 2 era prime mover of Nazi German origin. It was developed early 1942 as a prime mover for towed anti-tank guns and towed howitzers in the Eastern front. Here in the muddy season in 1941 both wheeled vehicles and horse drawn limbers of the German forces suffered significantly. A cheap, yet capable, towing vehicle suitable to difficult off-road conditions was required. With the help of Ferdinand Porsche the Austrian firm Steyr developed the tracked RSO. There also was a wheeled RSO by Skoda, which is described in a separate article. The name RSO stands for Raupenschlepper Ost, describing it as a "tracked towing vehicle for use in the east".
