National socialists were basically Mussolinis fascists + nordicism. How is this salute then a "nazi salute"?? Germans aren't exactly the "nordics" they worshiped. If this salute was a "nordic" salute, then where are the Swedes and Norwegians doing it en mass? I ranted about it because whenever a southern European does it, he's automatically called a "nazi" and a wannabe nordic when that doesn't make sense..... This salute was done (prior to WW2) mostly by non-nordics and was politically used firstly by meds, so what's nazi or nordic about the salute?
