Transportgruppe TQDT(Sigiature)After TODT's death in February 1942, SFEER became the Reichsministerfor Armanents and War Production and at the same time the Chief of the0T and of all the transport formations in the service of the 0T. Theamalgamation of the building organizations created by these two men wasnow to be followed by the reorganization of the entire transport system.A new organization was set up in October 1942, called NSKK-TransportgruppeTQDT. or simply NSKK-Gruppe TODT and placed under the commandof NSKK-Gruppenftthre r Willi NAGEL. It Included the NSKK-Transpo rtbrigadeTQDT, the HSKK-Transport-brigade 5HSER and the Legion.S^ismc.The inclusion of the Legion SHEER in the NSKK-Transportgruppe TODTdid not mean that Legion SFEER was to be considered part of the generalNSKK organization. At the time of the re-organization, it isemphatically stated that its inclusion was done solely for administrativereasons. In 1944 the term NSKK-Transportgruppe TQDT was often replacedby NSKK-Gruppe SHEER, a term introduced in honour of the Reichsminister.The term Trans portico rpa Si^k, was first found in several documentsabout the middle of 1944. It has since then officially replaced theold designation NSKK-Transportgruppe TQDT. It is believed that thepreponderance of foreigners in the transport units working for the OTas well as the desire to have all the transport units solely underthe direct control of SFEER were the two chief factors leading towardsa gradual breaking away from HaKK ties. The Legion SfESR may be theonly transport unit left to the OT at the present time, there beingsome evidence that the other elements have been withdrawn from theorganization.The last known address of Transportkorps SPEERHQ is BERLIN­CHARLOTTENBURG 9, Am Meesedam (Westkreuz)* Its staff was organizedalong the same lines as the General Staff of a German unit such as adivision as follows:Abt. la Einsatz (Employment)Abt.
