Members of the SS and Wehrmacht were not the only people that had to swear allegiance to Adolf Hitler. This Third Reich form is the official record that railway employee Rudolf Brdnik took the oath on 4 December 1941.

The A5 (5-7/8 x 8-1/4 inch or 148 x 210 mm) size document with Nazi eagle and swastika near the top was issued by the Reichsbahn in the small town of Hetzmannsdorf-Wullersdorff. The declaration was hand-signed by the head of the railway station in Hetzmannsdorf-Wullersdorff and was filed in the personnel file of Rudolf Brdnik.

Original Third Reich ‘swearing loyalty and obedience to Adolf Hitler’ documents like these are rare as they were quickly removed from files and destroyed after World War II and the end of the Third Reich. Condition exactly as shown above.
