Organisation Todt Uniforms

Organisation Todt or OT was yet another prime example of a uniformed organisation, created during the time of the Third Reich, which had no historical connection and it was during its period of existence constantly altering its uniform styles, rearraging its rank terms and changing its rank insignia. Organisation Todt was resonsible before the war for the construction of much of the Autobahn system throughout Germany and for the building of the German 'West Wall' know as Siegfried Line. 

OT construction workers, once war had broken out, found themselves in front-line situacions. OT Einsatzruppen (Work group) were employed in construction work in France (the Atlantic Wall), Italy (various defensive positions) and the Low Countries.

Minister of State Speer wore a uniform similar to that worn by senior OT officials but without OT ranks insignia. Silver cording worn around the edge of the collar indicated his ministerial position.
