"Document 1857-PS [translation]" in Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression. Volume IV: US Government Printing Office, District of Columbia: 1947. p. 496.
VOELKISCHER BEOBACHTER, 26 July 1934 p.I.

The Fuehrer elevates the SS to a standing of an Independent Organization. Munich, 25 July

The Reich Press Office announces the following order of the Fuehrer:
In consideration of the very meritorious service of the SS, especially in connection with the events of 30 June 1934, I elevate it to the standing of an independent organization within the NSDAP. The Reichsfuehrer SS, like the Chief of Staff, is therefore directly subordinate to the highest SS fuehrer. The Chief of Staff and the Reichsfuehrer SS are both invested with the party rank of Reichsleiter.

Munich, 20 July 1934.

/s/ Adolf Hitler.
