Hitler salute - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Hitler salute (Hitlergruß), also known in German during World War II as the Deutscher Gruß ("German Greeting"), and in English as the Nazi salute, is a salute which is variant of the Roman salute adopted by the National Socialist German Workers Party as a sign of loyalty to its leader Adolf Hitler. |
 | | Hitler himself would often use the salute, but when on the receiving end he would frequently adopt a modified version, in which his arm was bent up from the elbow, with the palm of his hand bent back towards his shoulder. |
 | | For example, the Bellamy salute, used as part of the United States Pledge of Allegiance in the late 19th century and early 20th century, was a version of the Roman salute with some similarities to the Nazi salute. |
