THOUGH THE 'WEHRMACHTSGEFOLGE' (ARMED FORCES AUXILIARIES) WERE
GENERALLY INFERIOR TO THEIR ARMED FORCES EQUIVALENTS, THEIR
CONTRIBUTION TO THE GERMAN WAR-EFFORT WAS FAR FROM NEGLIGIBLE.
Auxiliaries including the NSKK, Transportkorps Speer,
Reichsarbeitsdienst and Organization Todt supported the Wehrmacht in
their duties. In 1944, the strength of these organizations peaked at
3,800,000-40% of the size of the armed forces. As they became
increasingly aware of their importance, the Auxiliaries introduced
uniform and insignia modifications which made them virtually
indistinguishable from their comrades in the armed forces.
This book examines the organization, uniforms and history of the
various Wehrmacht auxiliary forces.
