As the German army faced ever increasing numbers of Allied armour, more ways were found to place anti-tank weaponry on already existing chassis, in order to try and counter the Allied numerical superiority. The Raupenschlepper Ost (RSO) was no exception to the armed conversions that were built upon so many German vehicles at the time. The decision was made in 1943 to take the well proven battle tractor and place a Pak 40/4 on its back, in order to provide more mobile anti-tank capabilities on the front line.

The Panzer IV was originally intended to be used only on a limited scale, so initially Krupp was its sole manufacturer. Prior to the Polish campaign, only 217 Panzer IVs had been produced: 35 Ausf. A; 42 Ausf. B; and 140 Ausf. C; in 1941, production was extended to Vogtländische Maschinenfabrik ("VOMAG") (located in the city of Plauen) and the Nibelungenwerk in the Austrian city of St. Valentin.

This elusive vehicle was rarely reported on in the West, and for some time its existence and many of the details surrounding it were unknown. Despite the secrecy surrounding it, however, the SU-122-54 was a very real vehicle that saw service, seeing use in some of the largest Soviet military actions of the 1960s. The SU-122-54 was developed, put into production, fielded, and retired, all whilst managing to remain largely a secret from NATO forces.

The Krupp Protze (Kfz.70 - Standard configuration for personnel carrying) was a six-wheeled 6×4 German truck and artillery tractor produced between 1934 and 1941 and heavily used in World War II. It was powered by a 4-cylinder, 55 hp or, from 1936, 60 hp Krupp M 304 petrol engine. Its main purpose was to tow artillery, especially the 3.7 cm Pak 36 anti-tank gun (designated Kfz 69), and transport motorized infantry (designated Kfz 70).

The Kfz 4 Einheits-Pkw were used by repair-and-maintenance squads (Kfz. 2/40), also known as the Einheits-PKW, was a 4x4 light truck used by Germany during World War II.

The Kfz 2 Einheits-Pkw were used as troop-level aerial defence (Kfz. 4), also known as the Einheits-PKW, was a 4x4 light truck used by Germany during World War II.

The GAZ AA truck played a crucial role in the Soviet military during the 1930s and World War II. It was the backbone of Soviet civilian and military logistics, serving in both army and national economy.
