Those Raupenschlepper Ost was produced in the city of Steyr in Upperaustria 🇦🇹 not far where I life. There are not many left. Greetings from Linz Austria 🇦🇹 Europe!
They look a LOT like the modern Sno-Cats that are used for grooming the slopes at ski resorts virtually everywhere. Hmm, I *wonder* where they got the idea for the Sno-Cat from? 😉
Diese "Raupenschlepper Ost", wurden auch bei der Firma "Deutz" gebaut, und auch dort entwickelt
... Big love 💕 from a Englander

That was basically the German answer to the Soviet STZ-5 tractor produced since 1937 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STZ-5 , but having a more powerful automotive industry Germans produced more RSOs than the STZ-5 (about 23000 RSO, about 10000 STZ-5). Soviets also produced some 2000 more advanced Ya-12 tracked vehicles during the war but could not produce more because of an effective bombing raid of the Germans against the major Russian car producer GAZ. All of these vehicles played a huge role which is completely overlooked in the movies about the war.
This is a very unique vehicle. So cool to see equipment that are not from the “mainstream” chart.
Unique is a very specific word, from the Latin, literally meaning 'one only'. It needs no modification and any attempts to do so will be grammatically incorrect.
BRING BACK THE SPEAKER
Finally some love for the RSO !
But let me make one point at the very beginning clear: TANKS are generally built to deal with mud. In fact, mud was one of the reasons people invented tracked vehicles (like RSO ...). I hear that BS of Russian mud stopping German tanks everywhere. It didn't stop the tracked vehicles. It stopped EVERYTHING ELSE, which made combined arms tactics and supply nearly impossible.
For that matter, the Russians faced the exact same problems during Rasputiza.
I've also heart that jungles as in certain Far East theatres became a bit muddy during rain season, stopping everything except tanks.
Hürtgen Forrest and to a degree the Ardennes become seriously muddy in late autumn as well, in particular if a tank unit moved through. Didn't stop neither Panzer IV nor Sherman (both not exactly famous for best cross country capabilities), but - again - everything else behind.
As a matter of fact, tanks were often used to pull untracked vehicles through the mud.
Before I get the Flak: Yes, on occasions tanks could and still can be stopped by mud and certain terrain is simply impassable (is that a word ?) for tanks, i.e. swamps.
You can't run armor without gasoline so it wasn't BS at all.

@@ottovonbismarck2443 Es war eine gute Idee, aber wie immer zu spät. Warum stellen Sie diese Frage?
@@karlheinzvonkroemann2217Weil ich Kommentare, die genau das wiedergeben, was ich bereits geschrieben habe, eigentlich eher von der anderen Seite des Teiches gewohnt bin. Persönliche Erfahrung aus 9 Jahren in einem US-Konzern (grauenvoll, nie wieder).
Und bitte: Das ist YT und wir sind unter uns Jungs; hier muss man nicht förmlich bleiben. Förmlichkeiten und Hochdeutsch fallen einem Rheinländer wie mir schwer, also bitte NICHTS persönlich nehmen !
Same music but I miss the soothing German voice…
A tough little vehicle for it's time.Was hampered by a low speed but still moved lots of supplies on poor roads.
This is another piece of war history that I didn't know before! Thanks for the video...😊👍
Thx! This was an interesting bit of obscure military history. I enjoyed it greatly. :-)
Great footage collection 🙏
TY - Lucky I never get tired of looking at the RSO. "Fresh" archival footage is always good
the voice was not good.
Great as usual
Great video and presentation
A lot of them were in use at logging operations until the 1970ies in Germany and Austria.
В СССР из них создали первый в стране Трелёвочный трактор именно эти немецкие катафалки направили советскую лесную промышленность в нужное русло...
The RSO reminds me of a Snowcat.
Narrated text is from Wikipedia... Verbatim!
The inspiration for many later soviet tracked movers. Much better than half tracks.
So they didn't listen when soldiers said that they were so rough riding that the sights went off. 😂
Nice Video.
Sehr interessant, vielen Dank 👍
Russia's two greatest assets. It's size and weather.
I did not know this. Very useful indeed. Steyr was a great company.
0:42 We classified these conditions as "the dry season" in Hohenfels.
I hate how lazy youtubers have gotten using AI for voiceovers for everything
Maybe its because the creator doesn't speak good English, it sounds like the Brady bunch...
Do you want your money back ?
@@65cj55yes,
Chill man, if you’re not happy you make interesting vids 😳
Yeah the AI isn’t very good but I understand the creator might have a reason to use it.
And the content is still interesting.
23,000 RSOs. I had no idea.
I did see a Canadian wartime newsreel showing what looks like the early RSO tilted sideways in a ditch beside the road during the Scheldt operations, I had thought they were only used on the Eastern front, perhaps a few were sent to Holland because of the flooded areas.
The design was borrowed from the Soviet STZ-5 tractor.
Nice work! I wasnt aware the pak version was from an RSO.
После войны на основе этих катафалок были сделаны первые в стране Трелёвочные тракторы.
I could have sworn there was a Nebelwerfer variant as well, but I could be mistaken.
You are thinking of the Panzerwerfer 42. A purpose build 10 barreled launcher (still of 150mm diametre) that was built on the chassis of the Maultier half track truck and it used components from the panzer I for the tracked portion. A few of 10 barreled launchers were also put the chassis of the SWS half track.
Good to see a video on such a poorly known vehicle. 23.000 were produced, wow! Never wondered this.
The RSO was a very very versatile tracked vehicle, relatively cheap and easy to produce and had excellent off road capability earning the trust of troops. It is quite cramped inside, I know because I did climbed on one of these vehicles 👍👍👍
...they've kept the design concept alive in Canada with the Nodwell...
wundabar
RSO.. Another inovation that exists and useful to this-day. Power companies use these in wetland areas. Just saw one doing its job last week. Look almost the same.
The Soviets very had few paved roads. The main one being the Minsk to Moscow highway. The vehicle which is the basis of this video didn't arrive until 1943. Two years too late make any difference whatsoever in the outcome of the war on the eastern front 1941-1945.
I thought the RSO/O2 had the ersatz cab of pressed card.
No Wonder the Soviets were inspired from the RSO artillery tractor.
Такие тягачи появились в СССР гораздо раньше чем в фашисткой Германии которые это подглядели эти тягачи у РККА.
You can see one in the August Horch Museum Zwickau.
At 5:55 in the photo the car in the background looks like it's being supported by the tire.
Why is that.
I've never seen this done.
Can someone tell me the purpose behind this?
A jack would just sink into the mud...
one of the wheels keeps the body up in the air so repairs can be done easily...
note rear wheel on that side is also off the vehicle...
A modern variant on this is the ability to tip a Lada Niva to almost 90 degrees and keep it off the ground by opening the front side windows and placing a wheel and tyre assembly in the gap (at 90 degrees) to do underbody repairs....
@@JohnSmith-pl2bk thanks Mr Smith.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤beautiful trucks
Narrator with a pulse please .
I want the original narrator back. Not some silly AI screwing up names and pauses.
"Rasputitsa" is simply "the thaw" in English.
Stair - that famous Austrian firm that build all sorts of things like weapons and vehicles. 😂
Steyr. Artificial voice has no clue. No subscription.
My father was attached to 5 SS Wiking for a time in late 1944 near Warsaw and he was in a transport company. The driver, he said, was Dutch and he drove one of these RSO. In the back, he kept a lot of the booty he had taken in Russia and Ukraine, including vodka!
Rospuutto in Finnish language, origin Russia language. Under the Tzar 1809-1917.
I need one in KANSAS NOW 😁
...deep pockets? Try a Nodwell.
....and, as-usual: too fews, and too late....
did they concur the tundra in the thaw???
Conquer the tundra?
I suppose it depended how deep the swamp was...
they could still sink...
probably why they were working on a floating/amphibious variant?
Why wouldnt German build roads. Its very fast build. Its gonna be used multiple times and more slow expanding.
Like railways........ good if you are winning..
Remember the Germans had a huge ripper fitted to the last train heading west...
ripping the ties apart and destroying the railway so the Russians couldn't chase them up.
Now imagine that with roads???
AI makes it unrelatable.
No wonder these countries were poor, with so little mileage of paved roads.
Don''t forget the inherent corruption in Russia, before, during and after this time.
Moscow has the elite and paved roads....deepest Siberia ....has not.
soooooooood this AI
Putin didn't invade Ukraine.
Ukraine was and is Russian territory.
Kievan RUSS.
Kiev USED to be Russian Capital.
Yes. It's factual and true.
If people don't like that idea, Tell the Israelis they have to leave Palestine, tell the Taiwanese they are actually Chinese- because that is also true.
Bad voice. I am out.
The bot is really stupid. But he has said that he will get rid of it thankfully.
PUTIN PUTIN PUTIN
More text to speech AI rubbish.
Это немцы зделали этот вездеход ,на основе советского везда СТЗ 5,они украли идею у СССР .
СССР за свое существование скопировал больше чем всё человечество... А вы тут с немцев угараете
И не зделали а сделали через С
@@сельхозник_2024 Иди ты не черес С,а через Х .
I despise listening to AI voiceovers.
Putin was the only leader to defeat the mud /what an awesome president
Putins name IS mud.
Is this an IA narrating?
I dont like it.
Come on man, its 6:30 minutes. Unsuscribing.
I want one..where did they all go?
Where alll war machines went....into scrap for the ssteel and wood for the fires...
There's part of an RSO, Tiger and Panther in every VW Beetle between 1949 and 1955...…😁😁
