A look at RSO Pak (7,5 cm Pak 40/4 auf gep. Selbstfahrlafette Raupenschlepper Ost) was the combination of the Pak 40 with the RSO. Although the firing trials were regarded successful, the vehicle ultimately turned out to be a failure. This video covers experience reports, development, a brief overview on the RSO, firepower, mobility and "armor protection". Disclaimer: I was invited by the Panzermuseum Munster in 2020.
