I cannot vouch for history of the OK hand sign and its innocent majority meaning, but on US soil the salute they used is NOT a NAZI salute and the press needs to quit making up smears.
FUCKING LIES!, its NOT the NAZI salute!
Proof : Its the US Government official Bellamy salute
I still do the Bellamy salute whenever I see the US flag go by in a Marching Parade, with such pride of the USA in my heart!
I am so proud of the patriotism displayed by the 50 High School kids. Its hard to find such patriotic kids that love the USA so much they are using the official salute to our american nation from 1892 to 1942 : FIVE GODDAMNED FULL DECADES of tradition and patriotism to our nation!
Good patriotic lads, even the laughing half obstructed negro on the far right side of photo in uncropped versions.
The teenagers didnt do it on their own, the photographer told them to do it so they did. The photographer was a former history teacher too so it isn't crazy to think the history teacher knew of the bellamy salute.
Btw you're a moron for implying that teenagers think before they do things.
I'm not making it up but I dont remember where I read it. Photographer was a retired history teacher. Shouldnt be hard to find if you care enough to track it down.

Look at the photos of AMERICAN patriotic kids giving the USA Belamy Salute.
Look at them.
From 1892 to early 1940s it was how US Schoolkids did pledges of allegiance.
Here is a crowd of patriotic Americans celebrating their nation at school in May 1942 (yes Nineteen Forty Two) ! :

Hitler liked it, and coopted the USA flag salute.

In 1942 the pledge of allegiance also had no mention of god.

Is that true that the photographer was a former history teacher? If so, then he knows the USA famous Bellamy salute predates appropriation by nazis.
