Nazi Conspiracy & Aggression D. The Nazi conspirators united the offices of President and
Chancellor in the person of Hitler. The merger of the two
offices was accomplished by the law of 1 August 1934, signed
by the entire cabinet (2003-PS). The official Nazi statement
concerning the effect of this statute contains this
observation:
"Through this law, the conduct of Party and State has
been combined in one hand. *******He is responsible only
to his own conscience and to the German nation." (1893-PS)
One of the significant consequences of this law was to give
to Hitler the supreme command of the German armed forces,
always a prerequisite of the Presidency (2050-PS).
Accordingly, every soldier was immediately required to take
an oath of loyalty and obedience to Hitler. (2061-PS)
