Americans are going to be such good Germans for this sort of thing.

For those curious, the Hitler Oath took two forms.

The military oath: I swear by God this holy oath, that I will render to Adolf Hitler, Führer of the German Reich and People, Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, unconditional obedience, and that I am ready, as a brave soldier, to risk my life at any time for this oath

The civilian oath: I swear I will be true and obedient to the Führer of the German Reich and people, Adolf Hitler, observe the law, and conscientiously fulfill the duties of my office, so help me God”.

Hitler established the oath in 1934, one year after he came to power.
