I love how certain media call it a Roman Salute in an attempt to defend him.
Like, do they think Hitler just made it up himself?

He stole it from the Italians under Mussolini, who basically took it from a painting. There's no evidence the Romans used this salute, so it's always been associated with fascism.
Unfortunately, evidence isn't something these folks are worried about.
Their feelings don’t care about facts so to say
Even if it was a roman salute, that was a symbol of fascism.
That's what I'm saying, it takes literally four seconds to look up where the "Roman" salute came from.
But these kids aren't big on the whole "reading" thing.
Same people that say the swastika is a symbol of peace.
Also, I think Hitler took the salute from this. Which is similar to the Roman salute.
Hitler had no great ideas, he stole from everyone, and was overall a terrible person full of hatred. But, he did ban human zoos.

This was the image I was thinking of when I first saw him do the thing
