I found the following document for Organization Todt, it’s a captured German document from the west. It shows the breakdown of organization towards the end of the War, it appears that Organization Todt were getting second hand men, this certainly gives definite evidence of deterioration in the stabilized West . To say the least .....

Reference: Inventory and issue of materials.
At the beginning of this year we attempted to take an inventory here although it was much too late. The first storekeeper was GREB. He did not take any inventory but sold all the goods and put the money into his own pocket. For this he was sentenced to imprisonment. His successor was POLTL. He was an administrative employee who, although he did not actually sell anything, also did not attempt inventory. The third storekeeper was HECKMAN. This man also failed to take any inventory of blackmailed everyone to whom he sold organization Todt goods in exchange for tobacco in brandy. He too had to be replaced. His successor was HIPPER. His only shortcomings was the the fact he could neither read nor write, and mixed up all the accounts. The fifth storekeeper within the ten months, is TRUMANN, employed here since 20.9.43. This man was released by the personal administration 18.5.43. and was transferred to this branch. At that time I was grateful for the personnel and took anyone who seem suitable. But as it happens, the reason for TRUMANN’s reassignment to this post is his near-blindness and consequently he can’t even attempt inventory because he positively cannot see a thing.
Never the less, now, after nearly a year, the inventory must be undertaken. Stock must be taken of all Reich property. Among all men employed here, there’s not one capable of performing this task. If all instructions issued by headquarters are to be carried out I must request that the assignment to this branch of a suitable and capable man to replace TRUMANN.
