At the end of his active service the conscript will join, not the Brown Shirts or other private political armies, but a new veterans' organization known as the Soldiers' League, sworn to "closest co-operation with the active troops and military authorities and loyalty by former soldiers to their War Minister, who possesses the Führer unlimited confidence...
