Oath Required By Hitler of the Wehrmacht
Oath Required By Hitler of the Wehrmacht
Does anybody know where I can find a text copy of the oath that all German soldiers were required to take, pledging allegience to Hitler?

The oath was written by Walter von Reichenau (Often mis-cast as the most pro-Nazi of the German generals.);
I swear by God this sacred oath, that I will render unconditional obedience to Adolf Hitler, the Fuehrer(sic) of the German Reich and people, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, and that I am ready as a brave soldier to risk my life at any time for this oath.
