Adolf Hitler: The Fuehrer Oath
(August 2, 1934)
In taking the Fuehrer Oath, the German Army swears allegiance not to the Republic, not to the flag, not to the constitution, and not even to the office of the head of state, but to Adolf Hitler personally who has now attained absolute power over the German people.
The table below displays the oath of allegiance prior to Hindenburg's death and how it read after its key words were altered on August 2, 1934.
