- W3024804521 abstract "Engineers and construction experts of the Organisation Todt oversaw forced labourers working onprojects which the Third Reich deemed vital during World War Two, collaborating closely with the SSthroughout Nazi‐occupied Europe and in the heart of the Reich. Central questions about the roleplayed by the OT in Germany’s forced labour programme, in which millions of foreign workers died,have until now remained underexplored. This thesis draws on primary sources and seeks to presentfresh insights into the largest slave labour programme since the end of the transatlantic African slavetrade in the 19th century. It concludes that Fritz Todt’s paramilitary organisation, which was led byhis successor, Albert Speer, for the last three years of the war, played a far greater part in the deathsof slave labourers than until now assumed. The OT cooperated with the SS, Wehrmacht and Germanindustry in detaining foreign workers in camps where high death rates were caused by physicalviolence and “structural violence”, meaning denial of basic needs and extreme hard labour. HighrankingSS officers held key posts in the OT, whose vast construction programmes exploited evermore foreign labourers, including prisoners‐of‐war, concentration camp inmates, Jews and Slavs.This study investigates how much brutal SS practices influenced engineers, architects and other OTstaff whose job was to construct buildings, bridges and bunkers. It examines how Nazi racist policyaffected slave labourers of various origins under the OT, as well as how far Nazi ideology may havemotivated OT personnel. Its analysis includes the finding that OT staff shot, beat or worked prisonersto death and were generally responsible for “structural violence” in the labour camps, causing tensof thousands of deaths through exhaustion, malnutrition, disease and exposure." @default.
