9. The legionary is subject to GerSn f A*HJbnd military law.He may not leave his unit without the permission of his superiorofficer, not even for a short time. Such conduct will be punishedas absence without leave, or even as desertion.10. This contract is valid for one year. After this period itwill be automatically renewed unless the legionary requests hisdischarge a week before expiry.Head and approved72. 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 <strong>com</strong>mandof NSKK-Gruppenftthre r Willi NAGEL. It Included the NSKK-Transpo rtbrigadeTQDT, the HSKK-Transport-brigade 5HSER and the Legion.Sîsmc.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theonly transport unit left to the OT at the present time, there beingsome evidence that the other elements have been withdrawn from theorganization.The last known address of Transportkorps SPEERHQ is BERLINCHARLOTTENBURG 9, Am Meesedam (Westkreuz)* Its staff was organizedalong the same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. Ib Quartiermeister (Quartermaster)Abt. Ic ffachrichtenwesen (signals Intelligence)Abt. H a Personalverwaltung (personnel administration)Abt. li b Ent&dhnung (Wages)Abt. He Ausbildungswesen (Training)Abt.Abt.Abt.i ni nIVaAbt. IVhDisziplinarwesen (Discipline)Unterkunft u. Verpflegung (Billets and Mess)Verwaltung u. Wirtschaft (Administration)Sanitatsabteilung (Medical service)(A few further sections have been omitted because exactinformation is not available on than).NSKK-Gruppe TQDT assigned units of different strengths to eachEinsatzgruppe. The sector of an Einsatzgruppe in which NSKK wasemployed was called an Absohnitt and its staff Abschnittsftthrung- 80 -.
The transport organizations forking'for the OT received their ownHQ directives concerning general matters of transport, but in allmatters of operational activities they were under the directcontrol of the OT units, especially the OBL f s, to which they wereassigned. There follows here a <strong>com</strong>plete lis t of Abschnittsftthrungenas they existed in 1943*1. Abschnittsffthrung West (Prance, Belgium, Ifelland)2. Abschnittsfuhrung Wiking (Norway. Denmark)3. Absennittsftthrung Russland-Word4. Ab sennit tsftthrung Russland-Mitte5. Abschnittsfuhrung SQdost (Balkans)6. Abschnittsffthrung ItalienJ. AbschnittsfOhrung ReichThe Absohnittsfohrung West, with HQ at Paris, was attached toEinsatz®?uppe West and controlled transportation for the OT unitsin France, Belgium and Holland. The staff was organized alongmilitary lines and the numbering system of individual sectionscorresponds almost exactly with that of the BERLIN staff of theHQof NSKK-Gruppe Todt (or Transportkorps SHEER). The sections are,in part, as followsAbt. la Einsatz (Movement of vehicles from one unitto another)Abt. Ib ?Abt. II Personal (Personnel)Abt. Ill Gericht (Court and Discipline)Abt. IVa Truppenvenvaltung (Administration)Abt. IVb Arzt (Medical Service)Abt. Vk Technik (Technique)Abschnittsffthrung West distributed units called Kraf twagenstaffelor simply Staffel (Battalion strength) to various OBL's according toneed. Usually one Staff el was assigned to one OBL, but sometimes oneStaff el took care of the transport needs of more than one OBL. Unitscalled Hauptkolonnen> Kraftwagenhauptkolonnen or Transporthauptkolonnenand smaller units called Rolonnen or Transportkolonnen served variousconstruction undertakings within an OBL. With the introduction ofLegion SFEER, formations called Abteilungen, Kompanien and Zftge wereassigned to various OT units on a level with Staffeln, Hauptkolonnenand Kolonnen. The direct contact between the OT and NSKK wasestablished through NSKK-Verbindungsftthrer (NSKK Liaison officers) whowere attached to the various OBL's.The size of the various transport units varied greatly accordingto need. The number of Staffeln and Abteilungen in an Abschnittdepended naturally on the number and strength of 03L f s in anEinsatzgruppe. A Staff el attached to the 03L CHERBOURG and OBL Normandiewas subdivided into 18 Hauptkolonnen which altogether contained549 transport lorries, 87 buses and 13 motorcycles. Some Hauptkolonnentook exclusive care of the transport of material, while othersspecialised in personnel. Staffeln in other OBL g s were considerablysmaller, as they normally consisted of about 6 Hauptkolonnen.A Hauptkolonne was usually subdivided into 3 Kolonnen, each controllingabout 10-45 lorries.A schematic picture of the transport formations working for theOT in France and the Low Countries presents great difficulties becauseof the frequent changes which took place from time to time in theorganization of the units.- 3i
