Founded post-WWI out of a group of mustered-out army engineers, Technische Nothilfe (TeNo) was later absorbed by the Order Police, indirectly becoming the engineering corps for the SS. In addition to national disaster response, TeNo was also responsible for cleaning up captured areas in the wake of Nazi occupation, and restoring essential services following bombing raids.
