Item # 650466

December 12, 1933

THE NEW YORK TIMES, December 12, 1933

* 1st of Hitler oaths
* Oaths of Allegiance


Page 12 has one column headings: "Deputies Hail Hitler" "Oath of Loyalty Is Taken on Eve of Reichstag Session" (see) This was the first oaths of allegiance to Adolph Hitler. Many more would follow. I suspect this is one of the few publications to report this particular event as other titles in our inventory do not.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete with all 48 pages, rag edition in nice condition.

wikipedia notes: The term Hitler oath also often referred to in English as simply the Soldier's Oath or Soldiers' Oath — refers to the oaths of allegiance, sworn by the officers and soldiers of the German Armed Forces and civil servants of Nazi Germany between the years 1934 and 1945. The oath pledged personal loyalty to Adolf Hitler in place of loyalty to the constitution of the country.
