 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 Nazi party as a sign of loyalty to its leader Adolf Hitler.
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.
In Britain it is common to signify the satirical nature of the salute by simultaneously placing the index finger of the left hand under one's nose as a parody of Hitler's moustache.

The 21-gun salute is often confused with the symbolic act of firing three volleys at military funerals, but these are two completely different rituals.

 Salute e malattia
I termini "salute" e "malattia" hanno un significato piuttosto vago e impreciso; in effetti, è difficile stabilire un confine netto fra «salute» e «malattia».
In passato, la linea di demarcazione tra lo stato di salute e quello di non-salute era collocata in corrispondenza del segno (2): in pratica, lo stato di non-salute (cioé di malattia) era definibile solo quando vi erano chiari segni clinici di una patologia.
Attualmente la linea di demarcazione fra salute e malattia viene collocata in corrispondenza del punto (1), nel senso che anche una semplice condizione di esposizione a fattori di rischio (cioé fattori che potenzialmente inducono malattie), rappresenta già, di per sé, uno stato di non-salute.

Sometimes, I realized, the soldier, sailor, marine, or airman giving me a salute wasn't sure when he was supposed to lower his hand.
