The Organisation Todt is the Nazi-era secret that still needs to emerge from the shadows' DAMIEN LEWIS, author of \u003ci\u003eSAS Brothers in Arms\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Nazi Hunters\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e'\u003c\/i\u003eCharles Dick has done a major service to the history of the Third Reich. The Organisation Todt exploited camp prisoners and forced labourers as ruthlessly and murderously as the better-known SS, but its responsibility has never been properly explored' RICHARD OVERY, author of \u003ci\u003eBlood and Ruins\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Discover for the first time the story of the Organisation Todt, a hidden and brutal organisation overseen by Hitler at the heart of the Nazi machine.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Adolf Hitler described the Organisation Todt as 'the greatest construction organisation of all time'. It was from this organisation, headed by Albert Speer, that Hitler enlisted the nation's leading engineers and architects to build his empire of dreams. In time, it became a key partner to the SS and the Wehrmacht and led to the deaths of millions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eUnknown Enemy\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the full extent of the OT and its long arm across Europe and the Reich. In wartime, its operations relied mainly on Germany's slave labour system, the largest exploitation of foreign labour since the end of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Charles Dick takes us inside the OT's vast building projects throughout German-occupied Europe, from the Arctic circle to the Balkans, to tell the story of how engineers and builders - so-called 'ordinary men' - perpetrated some of the gravest war crimes under its banner.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Despite its extensive network, the Organisation Todt largely managed to slip under the radar of war prosecutors after Germany's defeat. Drawing on extensive new research, first-person accounts and survivor testimony, \u003ci\u003eUnknown Enemy\u003c\/i\u003e finally unearths its dark story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Unknown Enemy : The Hidden Nazi Force That Built the Third Reich","offer_id":46272404095173,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/978-1-5266-6596-6.jpg?v=1779596420","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/unknown-enemy-the-hidden-nazi-force-that-built-the-third-reich-1","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
