Ausrtlstungslager (Equipment Depot) from the OT Ausrttstungsstelle(Equipment Headquarters) which is part of Ant Bau-OTZ in BERLIN.On discharge from the OT, OT memb'ers return their clothes andequipment to an Entlassangglager (Discharge Camp), This procedureapplies equally to OT officers, NCO f s, workers, and employees offirms on contract to OT. If, In case of discharge, the civilianclothes of an OT man are not inmediately available, he receives aMarschanzug (travelling suit) which is then turned in when hereaches home*OT members up to and including the rank of Truppftthrer(equivalentto Sergeant) receive their entire clothing and equipmentfree of charge. Nor are they charged for repairs. TruppfOhrerto HaupttruppfBhrer (Sergeant to Sergeant Major) and officercandidates receive their uniform free of charge and an allowanceof HM 150 - for the purchase of underwear, shoes, socks and so forth*Officers, on the other hand, receive an outright allowance of EM50Q for the purchase of a uniform and other items of clothing*All clothing and equipment, whether issued or sold by the OT, isrecorded in the OT member *s Pay and Identity Book*Regulations further state that the uniform must be worn atall times, on and off duty and on leave. Only in cases of specialassignments such as counter-intelligence, can an OT member wearcivilian clothes, and then only with the permission of the OBLor higher echelon, for the duration of his specific mission*On the construction site, German OT members generally weareither an old uniform or an Arbeitskloft (fatigues or overalls).Foreigners more often than not, simply wear tteir own clothes,with an armband in the nature of an insignia of distinguishingmark (see Table V)* Insofar as they are permitted to wear anyuniform at all they must buy all items of clothing and equipment*In this respect of course collaborationist elements fare best of all.The lower the status of the worker, the less care he receives, andZwangsarbeiter (Forced Labourers), once their own clothes wear out,generally are compelled to employ what may be picturesquelydescribed as makeshift methods*In case a member of a firm is on liaison duty between thehome office of his firm in the Reich and his OT Construction Site,he is allowed to wear an OT uniform with a rank commensurate withthe importance of his mission*Active Army officers on attached duty with OT may wear Armyuniform. Reserve officers now in the OT must wear OT uniform.A small proportion of the women in OTwsar a uniform. Most ofthem simply wear an OT brassard over their civilian clothes.Nachrichtenm&del (Signal communications girls) wear blue uniformsto distinguish them from other female employees*All OT Frontarbeiter (Front Zone workers) wearing the SwastikaBrassard, salute with the Hitlergruss or German Nazi Salute.Foreigners of Einsatzarbeiter status (see Table I, No. 15) may usethe salute of their own country. They must, however, salute allofficers and NCO f s in the OT, the Wehrmacht and the Nazi Party*Offioers in cars with mounted flags are also saluted.Itor uniforms worn "by the Transportkorps SPKER personnel,see IIH)7O-71»134. Insignia (see Tables IV and V, and Chart 10)In the OT as in the Wehrmacht, the uniforms for both officersand enlisted men (other ranks) are of the same cut and colour, the•n*
only distinguishing feature being the insignia*On this subject a certain amount of confusion has existed,mainly because so many changes in OT insignia have taken place thatit is difficult to state definitely Just which directive is beingfollowed at the present time. It is in fact highly probable thatmany variations in OT insignia are being worn by OT members indifferent sectors*For instance, the question of "shoulder straps". The latestdirectives on the wearing of OT insignia make no mention of them;however, OT members taken prisoner were found wearing them*The replacing of tha "Swastika Brassard" by a WehrmachtHoheitsabzeichen, is another point that has remained unclarified.This change in insignia has been referred to in directives and inentries in the OT-Dienstbuch, but so far no photographic proof thatthis change has actually taken place has been received. The mostrecent regulations on this subject are orders to those in uniformto cover the Swastika armband with a grey cloth in the event of oontactwith the enemy; those in civilian clothes are to substitute ayellow armband with the lettering: Wehrmacht*A full description of OT insignia ^s issued by the Ausrttstungsstelle,OTZ, BJ&tfJtf, October 1943, has been reproduced in Chart No. 10*135• Personal EquipmentA record of clothing and equipment issued to an OT member uponhis induction, is entered in the Dienstbuch (Pay and Identity Book)in a column headed "Leihweise von der Org. Todt erhalten" (Beceivedon loan from the Org. Todt). Certain issues of the Dienstbuch however,have a slightly different wording, i.e. "Leihweise in Lager durchdie DAP erhalten". (Received in camp on loan from the DAP: DeutscherArbeits Front or German Labour Front). The following are lists ofclothing and equipment issued to OT members upon their induction*NCO's up to the rank of Truppftthrer (Sergeant) and all otherGerman Frontarbeiter (Front Zone workers) are issued the following items!1 cap1 jacket1 pair of trousers1 Swastika brassard1 'Org Todt 1 brassard1 belt (for SK men on3y)1 pair of working shoes1 pair of leggings2 pairs of under drawers2 under shirts3 pairs of socks2 working shirts2 handkerchiefs1 tent shelter (to be used as raincoat)1 pair of overalls1 bread bag1 field pack1 water bottle1 cup1 mess kit (with knife, fork and spodn)In winter the following items were added:1 overcoat1 pullover1 pair of gloves1 Swastika brassa1 "Org Todt" brasfe 1-159
