# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Todt was a construction engineer who flew for Germany in World War I and earned the Iron Cross. He joined the Nazi Party in 1922, the SA in 1931, and climbed steadily as Hitler took power. Named Inspector General for German Roadways, he oversaw the autobahn system, then directed the Westwall and Atlantic Wall fortifications. In 1938 he founded Organization Todt, which funneled forced labor to German industry; in 1940 he became Reich Minister for Armaments and War Production, controlling the entire military economy. OT employed upwards of 800,000 slave laborers from occupied territories, and SS personnel working with the organization murdered many — particularly Jews — under cover of security or as part of the genocide. He died in a plane crash near Wilhelmsdorf in February 1942, en route from Rastenburg to Berlin. Albert Speer took over both posts.
