Military Oath Booklet.
Military Oath booklet, dated 1939. Soft red cover, with complete text of the oath inside.
Who got those? Did military units had a ceremony where the oath was read?

Tal,
Everybody joining the Armed Forces had to take the oath, including students of institutes, who had military course. In the Army this was a solemn occasion, marked by those commemorative cards and better food. There were thousands of variations of those cards specially printed for many units. Alexei |

Is this some kind of a card you will send to a new soldier?
