  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.

 The Oxford English Dictionary OED supports Dr. Rex Curry in the U.S. source of the Nazi salute   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The salute of German Socialists has sometimes been labeled an "ancient Roman salute." Dr. Curry helped to establish that it was not an ancient Roman salute, and that the "ancient Roman salute" is a modern myth that grew during and after the lives of Edward Bellamy (1850-1898) and Francis Bellamy (1855-1931).
The OED also supports Dr. Curry’s work in that there is no example of Hitler ever referring to the salute as a “Roman salute.” Other sources show that Hitler referred to it as the “German salute.” Hitler said he first saw the salute about 1921 at a Ratskeller in Bremen.
Historic photographs are at http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html and at http://rexcurry.net/pledge_military.html In actual use, the second part of the gesture was performed with a straight arm and palm down by children extending the military salute while perfunctorily performing the forced ritual chanting.

 The Waterglass: What does Arnold and a Dog from Germany Have In Common?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In the first story, it was Hitler's salute, and not the man, that was admired.
The Hitlerian salute was done all over Germany back then, and this form of admiration can therefore be distinguished from Hitler the man. To be socially sanctioned as humorous, the admiration has to be separated from Hitler the man by some significant degree.
Hitler's achievement cannot be separated from Hitler the "digusting villain." Therefore, this form of admiration is universally condemned, and out of the realm of socially sanctioned humor.

 European Support for Hitler
Hitler was not only popular in Germany: many Europeans of other nationalities openly supported the Nazi ideology and volunteered, either as workers or as military servicemen and women, to actively assist the German war effort.
Hitler once remarked that if he had a son, he would wish for Degrelle.
Even though events then caused support for Hitler to have almost evaporated by 1945, the fact remains that prior to his defeat, his popularity amongst Europeans generally was significant and growing, an unpalatable fact for many people today.

 Hitler
Hitler's minions would try to anticipate his will by doing things that he had not personally ordered but of which, they believed, he would approve.
Historians such as Broszat have documented how fragmented the Hitler state was, with rival bureaucracies, some old (the army and the civil service) and some new (the SS security apparatus and Goering's Four Year Plan economic empire), struggling for the dictator's favour.
Kershaw documents the extent to which Hitler himself was implicated in every step in the progressive radicalisation of the regime, but he tends to present this too much in personal terms, as a matter of what the dictator wanted.
