I find it hilarious that people get all uppity about the so called NAZI salute.

The official Nazi salute among officers of the military at the time which involves having your right arm straight out at an elevated angle while clicking your heels once was copied from Francis Bellamy.

Quote,"The inventor of the Bellamy salute was James B. Upham, junior partner and editor of The Youth's Companion.[2] Bellamy recalled Upham, upon reading the pledge, came into the posture of the salute, snapped his heels together, and said "Now up there is the flag; I come to salute; as I say 'I pledge allegiance to my flag,' I stretch out my right hand and keep it raised while I say the stirring words that follow."[2]"

The American Pledge was made official in 1892. In December 1942, the stiff arm pledge was changed by an act of Congress because of confusion of being associated with the Nazis.
