Here's a nice Organisation Todt Dienstbuch that I picked up a few years ago. It was issued to August Müller by Gefolgschaftstelle Trier on 9.10.1941.
He was born 12.4.1896 in Stuttgart. Page 3 bears a nice stamp for OT Einstatzgruppe West - OBL Normandie giving dates he was on the island of Jersey, however unfortunately no dates have been entered.
Page 10-11 record the Oberbauleitung (OBL) that he was under during his time in the Org.Todt, you can see his position as Polier or foreman in Fronteinzatz with the firm Heilmann & Littmann.
Heilmann & Littmann was a leading German construction and civil engineering companies that dates back to 1871. Heilmann & Littmann Bau-AG was created in 1934. Currently researching their roll but they are listed as being on the Channel Islands during WWII.
From 8.10.1941 until 17.1.1942 he was with OBL Paula, which had it's H.Q. in La Pallice (later La Rochelle) and covered the area from St. Jean des Monts to the Gironde.
18.1.1942 until 4.5.1943 OBL Normandie which had it's H.Q. in St. Malo and covered the areas from Granville to St. Brieux. Up to the end of 1942 OBL Normandie under Reg.Baurat Bürger covered a vast area in Normandy and Brittany extending from Trouville near the mouth of the Seine to St. Brieux on the Northern coast of Brittany. Its HQ was at St. Malo and it consisted of the Bauleitungen St. Malo, Jakob, Gustav, Adolf and Cherbourg. Late in 1942 Einsatz Normandie was created under ORBR Spangenberg with HQ at St. Malo. It included OBL Normandie, OBL Cherbourg and OBL Nord. Baudir. SAELET took over the control of Einsatz Normandie sometime in 1945. From June 1944 OBL Cherbourg by becoming an independent Einsatz broke away from Einsatz Normandie.
From 5.5.1943 with OBL Stuttgart, H.Q. Stuttgart.
Page 14-15 shows typical clothing issues including a gasmask.
