Ass.8 -

The Salute


While I was watching the video, and as they would do their "salute" toward Hitler, I wondered what that salute meant. It was a greeting like a sign of loyalty to their leader. It was used by the Nazi Party to salute Hitler. Although the Italian people thought the salute had something to do with ancient Rome, Hitler and the SS leader Heinrich Himmler believed that it was from ancient Germanic peoples.To salute you raise your arm at about 45 degrees and then you say the words Heil Hitler! said in a firm and loud voice. If you are standing in front of a superior your heels may be clicked. The rest of the crowd will yell Sieg Heil which means Hail Victory.



The Uniforms
I noticed that not all the Nazis were dressed exactly alike. The Nazis liked their uniforms, for you wouldn't receive respect if you weren't wearing one. Hitler had chosen uniforms for every office and for every group. Some uniforms meant that you were in higher in office and others were for war.
