Organizacja Todta – powstanie, rozwój i zakres działalności w latach 1938–1940
Todt’s Organisation – Establishment, Development and Scope of Activity in 1938–1940

Summary/Abstract: The Todt’s Organisation was a militarised organisation of great importance for the armament potential of the Third Reich. The problems discussed in this text remain on the margins of interest of Polish historiography, so the article aims primarily to fill this gap. Due to the wide and multifaceted scope of this issue, the author decided to present the TO in the first phase of its functioning, from its genesis connected with the motorway construction programme to its involvement during the French campaign of 1940. The period encompasses the formative phase and the restructuring of the organisation under the conditions of the war conflict. The TO in the period discussed underwent significant structural changes, becoming not only an efficient construction organisation but also an inseparable element of support for sapper units and efficient Wehrmacht logistics.
