Famous WW2 Quote
"The raising of that flag on Suribachi means a Marine Corps for the next 500 years."James Forrestal, Secretary of the Navy, 23 Feb 1945

The Nazi Party was formed by Anton Drexter
in Munich, Germany in 1919.
Adolf Hitler was party member, number 55 by
1930 the party had 129,583 members, by 1933
over 849,000 and would reach over 5,000,000
million members.
THE NAZIS NEVER CALLED THEMSELVES NAZIS...
The word Nazi was rarely used by Hitler or his followers.
The Acronyms NAZI and NSDAP come from the Official party name.

ALL TOGETHER NOW:
The Nazi salute with right arm extended is an
expression older than Nazism.
It is a salute to Lady Victory atop the
"Siegessaute" (Victory Column) in Berlin.
SIEG HEIL, SIEG HEIL...
Actually means Victory Hail or Hail Victory
in Nazi Germany, when meeting someone with the words Heil Hitler, Sieg Heil was used in Political meetings the Nazi party even made a swastika pin badge in 1933 displaying a victory wreath swastika and the words Sieg Heil...
THAT WAS YESTERDAY, THIS IS TODAY:
Today in Germany, using the greeting in written form, vocally and even extending the right arm without phrase is "Verboten" (forbidden), except for educational teaching
displaying of the swastika, is also forbidden
