Bonzo Goes to Bitburg

Who came up with the "Heil Hitler!" salute? Was it Hitler himself? If so, pretty impressive, no? Tries to take over the world, tries to wipe out an entire race of people, and in the meantime had the wherewithal to think "...you know what....I should come up with my own salute..." Seriously, anyone else done that in recent memory? Fairly prolific guy. And that's to say nothing about the fact that he pretty much will OWN that little mustache til the end of time, right? Say what you will about the guy, but can you say you've really made your mark like this guy when the Grim Reaper comes a calling? Salute AND a stache. Man.

Before World War II American students would hold their hand over their hearts during The Pledge of Allegiance (like you do) but after the first line "I pledge allegiance to the flag" would extend their arms outward toward the flag in a gesture that looked rather...National Socialist. Palms were held skyward rather than down but the practice was abandoned in the 30s due to the guy with the nosewide. True Fact!
