Le Raupenschlepper Ost, littéralement le « Tracteur chenillé - Est », est plus communément abrégé en RSO. Ce véhicule entièrement chenillé et léger fut conçu en réponse aux pauvres performances des véhicules à roues et half-tracks dans la boue et la neige durant le premier hiver passé par l'armée allemande sur le front soviétique. Il a peut-être été inspiré par de très similaires petits tracteurs chenillés en usage dans les autres armées, plus particulièrement le tracteur d'artillerie STZ-3 NATI de l'Armée rouge.

The Raupenschlepper Ost, literally the "Eastern Tracked Tractor," is more commonly abbreviated as RSO. This lightweight, fully tracked vehicle was designed in response to the poor performance of wheeled vehicles and half-tracks in mud and snow during the German army's first winter on the Soviet front. It may have been inspired by very similar small tracked tractors in use by other armies, most notably the Red Army's STZ-3 NATI artillery tractor.
