The persons mentioned under 1 and 2 state that they are of pure Aryan descent and that they are not infected with inheritable diseases which would exclude them from marriage. Considering the war situation and the special circumstances they apply for marriage under special war time laws. They also ask to accept an oral publication of the bans and to disregard all legal delays.

The application is accepted. The oral publication of the bans is checked. The findings are in order.

I come now to the ceremonial act of marriage.

In the presence of the witnesses mentioned under 3 and 4 I ask you,
My Fuehrer Adolf Hitler
Are you willing to take the
Miss Eva Braun
As your wife.
If you are, answer "I Do"
Now I ask you
Miss Eva Braun

Our Fuehrer Adolf Hitler

If you are, answer "I Do"

Since both newly weds have stated their intentions, I declare this marriage as legal before the law.

Berlin, 29 April 1945
