Kurt Daluege
In a National Socialist context, the phrase "Meine Ehre heißt Treue" refers to a declaration by Adolf Hitler following the Stennes Revolt, an incident between the Berlin "Sturmabteilung" (SA) and the "Schutzstaffel" (SS). In early April 1931, elements of the SA under Walter Stennes attempted to overthrow the head of the Berlin section of the National Socialist German Workers' Party. As the section chief Joseph Goebbels fled with his staff, a handful of SS men led by Kurt Daluege were beaten trying to repel the SA. After the incident, Hitler wrote a letter of congratulations to Daluege, stating "... SS-Mann, deine Ehre heißt Treue!" ("Man of the SS, your honor is loyalty"). Soon afterward, "Reichsführer-SS" Heinrich Himmler, adopted the modified version of this phrase as the official motto of the organisation.
