Organisation Todt - Personal Document Set of Frontarbeiter Karl Pfau (Lossburg).
Rare and complete personal document grouping to Karl Pfau, born 14 November 1912 in Lossburg, who served as a Frontarbeiter (frontline labourer) with the Organisation Todt (OT) during WWII.
This grouping includes:
- ✅ Wehrpass with entries
- ✅ Nachweis über Privateigentum (proof of personal property), dated 10 August 1945, issued after the German capitulation — confirming that his personal belongings were not Wehrmacht property
- ✅ Arbeitsbescheinigung (work certificate)
- ✅ OT document with unit designation “Lenz / Fa. Oelting” (likely a subunit or contractor attached to OT)
- ✅ Note or financial document possibly issued to or referencing his wife (likely a payment or withdrawal notice)
- ✅ Additional OT-related notations and annotations
Pfau served in a unique capacity within the Organisation Todt, the Nazi regime’s paramilitary construction group responsible for building military infrastructure such as bunkers, roads, and defensive positions, often in dangerous frontline areas.
The presence of the post-war dated property declaration is especially remarkable — very few survived the chaotic surrender period in this condition.
🧾 Condition: All documents are original and in good condition for their age, with clear legible stamps and signatures.
📍 Location history: Based on the documents, Pfau was connected to the Freudenstadt / Lossburg area, falling under Wehrkreis V. His OT service and the final 1945 document link him to unit "Lenz," likely a civilian contractor or OT division operating in the region.
🔹 A rare opportunity to acquire a complete and original document set of an Organisation Todt front-line worker, including rare post-surrender documentation.
