'Riveting, timely and truly revelatory . . . The Nazi-era secret that still needs to emerge from the shadows' DAMIEN LEWIS

Adolf Hitler hailed the Organisation Todt as the greatest construction group of all time. It was from the OT that he enlisted the nation's leading engineers and architects to build his empire of dreams.

Founded by Fritz Todt and led by Albert Speer, the OT would become a key partner to the SS and the Wehrmacht and lead to the deaths of millions. Its gargantuan projects - from the building of earth-shattering rockets to the bulwark of the Westwall - were made possible by Germany's slave labour system, the largest exploitation of foreign labour since the end of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. And yet it largely managed to slip under the radar of prosecutors after Germany's defeat. Taking us from the Arctic Circle to the Balkans, Unknown Enemy finally reveals its dark story.

'Provides a mass of readable information on how Organisation Todt exhibited some of the most brutal aspects of Nazi rule ... Dick has well and truly put the organisation on the historical map' Richard J. Evans, LITERARY REVIEW

'Well-researched and scholarly . . . Reminds us how many criminals got away' Simon Heffer, TELEGRAPH
