People should read up on the Bellamy Salute.
Thank you. Extremely illuminating. For those who haven't yet clicked, we used a similar salute (which was supposed to go with our Pledge of Allegiance) until a few years AFTER it was adopted by Mussolini and later Hitler. Roots are in ancient Rome. The same royals might well have been taught it here in 1933, and it would have nothing to do with Hitler or the Italian fascists. Worth reading up on.

If you get a chance, watch some video of the 1936 Berlin Olympic Opening Ceremonies, many delegations passed in front of Hilter giving out the Nazi salute.

The left uses the lack of historical knowledge with great effect.
