    Signed Hitler Oath document?

    Hi fellow WAF members. Looking for help understanding what this document is.

    I bought it thinking it was an NSDAP member's oath to Hitler. I tried using Google to interpret the German to English, it worked some but not clear on exactly what this document is for. I’m assuming this is genuine.

    Also, on the signature line…what does the prefix before the signature mean…”Tgn.”…”Jgn.”…”Pgn”?

    Also, is the first name “Alice” or “Olice”?

    It looks like the last line refers to year 7 of the Reich. So would that be 1940 when this was signed?

    Any help/interpretation is appreciated.

    Thanks!!!

    Alice didn't sign this as it was her name filled in on the document and Pgn means "Party Member."

      But Hitler was born in 1889 . An the there you can read " Zum fünfzigsten Geburtstage von Adolf Hitlers ". That was on 20. April 1939.

        Thanks for the feedback!

        I just found some more information on Google. According to this link, it looks like the Hitler Youth did the oath on April 19th (the eve before the birthday celebration...apparently Hitler's 50th birthday celebration in this case in 1939)...

        "The evening of April 19 was the date on which the entire German Reich annually teens solemnly in the Hitler Youth were recorded."

        ----> https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%BChrergeburtstag

        So I am assuming this document was for a girl in the Hitler Youth.
