There really isn’t a proper performance. Many nazi officials simply raised their hand palm facing away from them over their right shoulder. Generally at rallies touching your chest on the left hand side and then raising your right arm straight out with palm angled down and away from you is the basic salute. He did that. Twice.
It’s quite common in old photos to see people’s hands dipping a bit doing it. Almost making a like cup shape with the hand. Hard to hold your hand aloft like that for long periods of time. Also not uncommon to see hands turned slightly or completely sideways. What doesn’t vary is the intent. It is a salute in the traditional sense. The fact he did it facing the flag is by itself more than damning enough. You don’t wave at flags, you salute them.
Source: it helps to know a lot about your enemies and their rituals. Also I have a thing for modern history.
Almost like taking still shots of someone in motion can make them look like they’re doing crazy shit… So how about you make them gifs instead so we can see the context?

Yeah, i stand corrected on that point. Him doing so first doesn’t really change the salute itself.
I’d say 50/50 odds that he tries to claim it was a Bellamy Salute or something.
Oh no here comes the downvotes because this place is exactly like Reddit.
Feel free to return to Reddit. This is not your Lebensraum.
Nah we hate Nazi’s here.
Ya’ll throw that word around that means nothing anymore.
You should get footage of all those moments. Be neat to see em all lined up. Write up a nice summary of the context for each one.

Also, make sure to add this one:
Lol.
There’s video kiddo.
He did it more than once. With zeal.
It was not a still image captured as he waved to the crowd. No matter how much you want it to be.
