good for them, now all we need is Leni Refenstahl to shot the video for youtube-she’s got experience at this kind of thing, (and I think Hollywood honored her a few years ago).

Hitler oath

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hitler_oath

"The term Hitler oath refers to the oaths of allegiance sworn by German Wehrmacht officers and soldiers as well as civil servants during the Third Reich between the years 1934 and 1945. The oath pledged personal loyalty to the person of Adolf Hitler in place of loyalty to the constitution."

"Germany's voters went to the polls and 89.9% voted their approval for Hitler to assume complete power over Germany. The following day, August 20, 1934, the cabinet decreed the 'Law On The Allegiance of Civil Servants and Soldiers of the Armed Forces'. ('Gesetz über die Vereidigung der Beamten und der Soldaten der Wehrmacht'), which superseded the original oaths. Prior to the decree, both members of the armed forces and civil servants had sworn loyalty to 'the People and the Fatherland' ('Volk und Vaterland'); civil servants had additionally sworn to uphold the constitution and laws of Germany.

"The new law decreed that instead, both members of the armed forces and civil servants would swear loyalty to Adolf Hitler."
