Do you guys know what exactly this consisted in? It was about racial measures to be taken in-side the armed forces in early 1934. But what were those racial measures? Did president Hindenburg agree on this? Who handed the order?

A little doubt... The paragraph speaks about civil servants. But it speaks too that they are not to wear emblems, rank tittles and insignia if they are expelled from service. Is it only refrring to police forces or it also includes the armed forces?

On Hindenburg I found this:

Anthony Read "the Devil´s disciples" 2003

"The only exception to the law was (made by Hindenburg´s insistence) the Jews who had fought at the front in WW1.

So I think he knew!

Thanks, Kai!

I just asked because I'm already writing my novel.

It starts in February 1934 and I portray a scene in which a young II lieutenant in the Army whose father was a Jew, gets expelled from the Army because Defense Minister, Von Blomberg aproved the Aryan Paragraph within the Armed Forces on February 1934 as well as introduced the NSDAP insignia.

Just wanted to know if I wasn't modifying History...
