My mother was born in 1921 and spent her teen years during the turmoil of the 30's. Here in america school children during that time would reach out their arms in a very similar way when reciting the pledge of allegiance. When Hitler became prominent, the practice stopped for obvious reasons.
Many americans still worship the national socialist state, with or without the salute.
