Re: Nazi salute

This kind of salute was used long before the nazis commandeered it.
In itself it is not offensive.....it has only become offensive as a result of the Nazis using it....it was used in Roman times to show allegiance to the Caesars.
This is a bit of private film, taken at a time before much was known about what was going on in Germany.....it has to be looked at in that context.
I hope the Queens sues the britches off the Sun Newspaper......and wins.
I also hope they find out who provided the Sun with this bit of film.
