When Necessary Posted September 12 Report Posted September 12 I'm sure it's no coincidence that the book's subtitle echoes the motto of Himmler's SS "Meine Ehre heißt Treue" (My Honour is Loyalty). 1 1 Quote
Volker62 Posted September 12 Author Report Posted September 12 Himmler draws parallels in his foreword to the samurai of the past and his black corps and recommens that the men of his SS read this booklet Dee 2 1 1 Quote
Mister Gunto Posted Wednesday at 03:38 AM Report Posted Wednesday at 03:38 AM Late War publication date, 1944. Interesting timing to push loyalty as virtue, as things were collapsing on both fronts for Germany at the time. Quote
CSM101 Posted Wednesday at 05:34 AM Report Posted Wednesday at 05:34 AM I scanned the booklet and I have it as a PDF. Can´t post it here: 38,27 MB Was für ein Schmarrn! 1 Quote

Rivkin Posted Wednesday at 05:57 AM Report Posted Wednesday at 05:57 AM I already mentioned it once I think, but I was involved in briefly assessing foreign ministry property which was taken as Soviet trophy. 90% was Chinese gifts from early and pre-Hitler period - vases, plaques, some artwork, contemporary or early XXth century items. There was surprisingly little Japanese. 1 Quote
