In 1938, Adolf Hitler directed two paramilitary labour organizations - the Reicharbeitsdienst, consisting of recruits, and the Organization Todt, a mobilized force of private construction firms - to assist the military. This book looks at the history, equipment and uniforms of these organizations.
Though the ''Wehrmachtsgefolge'' (Armed Forces Auxiliaries) were generally inferior to their armed forces equivalents, their contribution to the German war-effort was far from negligible. Auxiliaries including the NSKK, Transportkorps Speer, Reichsarbeitsdienst and Organization Todt supported the Wehrmacht in their duties. In 1944, the strength of these organizations peaked at 3,800,000-40% of the size of the armed forces. As they became increasingly aware of their importance, the Auxiliaries introduced uniform and insignia modifications which made them virtually indistinguishable from their comrades in the armed forces. This book examines the organization, uniforms and history of the various Wehrmacht auxiliary forces of World War II.
