Deutsch: Meine Ehre heißt Treue.
English: My honor is called loyalty or My honor is my loyalty.
This was the motto of the SS (Schutzstaffel, English: Protective Squadron).
The origin of this motto as a National Socialist slogan goes back to a sentence from Adolf Hitler. Members of the Berlin SA (Sturmabteilung, English: Stormtroops) under Walther Stennes had tried in 1931 to storm the Berlin region administration. While the gauleiter Joseph Goebbels and his assistant escaped from the SA mob, a handful of SS people tried to stop the SA and were assaulted by them.
With this action, the Berlin SS under their commander Kurt Daluege had proved, in Hitler's eyes, a "unwavering loyalty towards the Führer" and Hitler gave a letter of thanks to Daluege. Among other things in this letter Hitler had the sentence: "... SS-Mann, deine Ehre heißt Treue!" (... SS man, your honor is called loyalty!). SS chief Heinrich Himmler introduced this sentence shortly after as a SS motto on account of this letter.
