Oaths/Bloody Streets by S. Hamilton

Post by Annelie »

Reading Bloody Streets.....good read with lots of interesting information.

Page 366 Hanns-Heinrich Lohmann with the 49.SS-Panzergrenadier Regiment, Lohmann says his men can go home.
They were no longer bound to their units by their oath.

When exactly is the correct determination of when men are no longer bound by their oath?
I had my own idea.

Interesting point that one - what was the date that decision was made?

I'd have thought it was a reasonable conclusion at that stage of things - presumably since the whole notion of defeat officially taboo and only countenanced in secret, there would have been few guidelines to go by?
