Oaths to Hitler

(

)

Norwegian SS members swearing the oath

... that the oath to Hitler sworn by members of the SS may have inspired the Hitler oath sworn by members of the Wehrmacht after 1934? "Foreshadowing, if not serving as a model for the momentous oath of the Wehrmacht of 2 August 1934, this personal SS pledge of loyalty..." from: Koehl, Robert Lewis. The SS: A History, 1919-45. Tempus. p. 102. ISBN 978-0-7524-2559-7.
- ALT1:... that members of the Hitler Youth swore an oath to give their lives for the Führer? "I swear to devote all my energies and my strength to the saviour of our country, Adolf Hitler. I am willing and ready to give up my life for him," from: Lepage, Jean-Denis G. G. (2009). Hitler Youth, 1922-1945: An Illustrated History. Jefferson, North Carolina: McFarland. p. 85. ISBN 978-0-7864-5281-1.

Comment: Image for ALT0 only. Some content was forked from Hitler oath but there is sufficient new content to qualify.

It doesn't appear that there was a 5x expansion of readable prose over previously existing content (i.e. that borrowed from the other article), as required by the DYK rules. (t · c) buidhe 11:40, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi buidhe, I think the only bit I copied from the pre-existing version of Hitler oath was the paragraph on foreign volunteers (circa 540 characters). Barring all the direct quotes, which I don't think count? I count new content at around 3,000 characters - Dumelow (talk) 12:08, 1 October 2020 (UTC)
