I will unswervingly strive to fulfill my official duties conscientiously, honestly, courageously, vigilantly and with discipline. I swear, that I will, without reservation, under risk of my life protect the socialist social, state and legal order, the socialist property, the personality, the rights and the personal property of the citizens against felonious attacks. If I nevertheless break this, my solemn oath, I shall be confronted with the punishment of the laws of our republic.
