Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Oath of Allegiance

"However high the value of courage and steadfastness in wartime is to be esteemed, there comes a point beyond which the continued prosecution of the war can only be called desperate folly and cannot be approved by any standard."

Clausewitz, "Vom Krieg", Page 319

"When a nation is visibly breaking down and is fighting desperately, only because its rulers have acted wrongly, then obedience and duty to these rulers becomes a mere formality, even madness, if, by refusing to obey or to carry out one's duty, the people may be saved from ruin".

Hitler, "Mein Kampf", Page 593
