>>2500124<„Meine Ehre heißt Treue“
"My honor is loyalty" was the motto of the Schutzstaffel (SS). Since 1932, the motto was coined in the belt buckles of the General SS and its subsidiary organizations (SS-Verfügungstruppe, SS-Totenkopfverbände and later resulting from these armed SS formations Waffen-SS). In the Wehrmacht, he was, however, God with us.
The motto of the Nazi slogan goes back to a set of Adolf Hitler. Units of the Berlin Sturmabteilung (SA) under Walter Stennes had in 1931 tried to storm the Berlin Gau. During the Gauleiter Joseph Goebbels and his staff were able to escape the SA-Mob, tried a handful of SS men stopped the SA and was beaten up by them. Thus the Berlin SS had an "unswerving loyalty to the leader" proved under their commander Kurt Daluege in Hitler's eyes and Hitler Daluege send a thank you note. In this thank you letter Hitler had, inter alia, the following sentence: "... SS man, your honor is loyalty," written. SS chief Heinrich Himmler led because of this letter that sentence shortly thereafter as an SS motto.
