The Hitler Oath

So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?

Well, on the 20th. August 1934, a new law was decreed in Nazi Germany replacing the Reichswehreid with the Führereid (Hitler Oath).

The Hitler Oath was an oath 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. The oath was an important psychological element to obey orders for committing war crimes, atrocities, and genocide. 

During the Nuremberg trials, many German officers unsuccessfully attempted to use the oath as a defence against charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Paris-Soir

Also on that day, the French newspaper Paris-Soir published the suppressed details of Hindenburg's 'last wish' for the restoration of the German monarchy.

Tom Marigold

Also born on that day, in Hamburg, Germany, was the broadcaster, journalist and author Tom Marigold. For 26 years he was an investigative journalist with the BBC Panorama current affairs television programme.
