The Armed Forces Auxiliaries ( Wehrmachtsgefolge ) comprised various organizations that supported the German Wehrmacht during World War II, including the NSKK, Transport Corps Speer, Reich Labor Service, and Organisation Todt. These auxiliary forces were essential to the war effort, reaching a strength of approximately 3.8 million people (40% of the Wehrmacht's strength) in 1944, and their uniforms increasingly resembled those of the regular troops.
