The pledge

Das Gelöbnis
Rund sechs Wochen nach Beginn ihres Wehrdienstes legen die jungen Soldaten ihr Gelöbnis ab. Sie geloben „der Bundesrepublik Deutschland treu zu dienen und das Recht und die Freiheit des deutschen Volkes tapfer zu verteidigen“. Der Ablauf eines Gelöbnisses ist überall gleich.
