RedditsuxHegseth’s Self-Centered Reason for Calling in Generals Leaks
donThere’s a tweet in the article:

Cool story, General
Ben Hodges: @general_ben
July 1935 German generals were called to a surprise assembly in Berlin and informed that their previous oath to the Weimar constitution was void and that they would be required to swear a personal oath to the Führer. Most generals took the new oath to keep their positions.
Fucking shitbag fuckmook.
I keep seeing this historical “fact” but I can’t find anything corroborating it. “Hitler oaths” were already being taken since 1933, by June of 1935 the Reichswehr was replaced by the Wehrmacht.
The link you’ve shared here talks about the Führer Oath being created in August 1934 but not becoming law until mid-1935, which seems to roughly agree with the date in the post you’re disputing. I can’t find much to support the claim about a surprise assembly, though, at least from a cursory search.
It looks as though his post is taken almost verbatim from this substack post: thecycle.substack.com/p/from-hitler-to-hegseth
which doesn’t inspire the most confidence.
Alright relax pal. This was far more retarded, and of much less significance.
Well shucks, bud. You know what? Boom, comment edited. Enjoy!
