I got one too for reading and drawing and I usually just end up yapping to you lot. It's great when I am not feeling well though.

Sorry, I was not clear. I was trying to say that they're a package deal; you must look at them within the contexts of each other. Both cultures are hitting the same notes based on their propensity for similar historical revisionism at similar times and the relationship is kinda nuanced. I found something more eloquent than my 2am brain.

The main reason for such lack of accuracy is that a thorough analy- sis of the history of the raised-arm salute requires a synthesis of vari- ous areas of knowledge that scholars usually keep separate: the history, literature, and art of ancient rome; the cultural and political history of modern italy, Germany, and the United States; the history of late- eighteenth-century european painting and late-nineteenth-century popular theater; and film history from its beginnings to today. For this reason no comprehensive scholarship on the raised-arm salute has previously been attempted.

With the rise of Nazi Germany, some Americans identified the flag salute itself as problematic. This dissertation refers to the salute popularized by the Youth’s Companion, in which children began the Pledge with their right hand over their heart before extending their hand upward toward the flag, palm up, at the phrase “to my flag,” as the Bellamy salute to be consistent with earlier historiography, although recent research suggests it predated Francis Bellamy, its namesake.467 The Nazi salute differed from the Bellamy salute only in that the arm began outstretched and the palm faced down. The Bellamy salute was most likely based on the mythologized “Roman salute,” which also inspired Italian and German fascist salutes in the twentieth century.468 Although the Bellamy salute predated the Nazi salute and was incorporated into the Flag Code in 1923, Americans in the 1930s and early 1940s were forced to consider whether the traditional rituals of the Pledge of Allegiance should change as a hyper-nationalistic foreign regime seemed intent on overthrowing the democratic governments of the world.46

This is what I was trying to get at with the pipeline link.

Also you must consider the rise of media during this time: https://kb.osu.edu/server/api/core/bitstreams/0c516d4f-431c-551b-820c-2bfed6ec9b4b/content

History rhymes. I unironically think about the Roman Empire a lot because it's a dog whistle. To say one inspired the other isn't wrong when you take a step back, it's just oversimplified.

I think you misread that, in context it circles back to the American one. For more context see here under origins. The American version was very much in the timeline with the inspiration: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_salute

Also worth reading: https://web.archive.org/web/20240719151050/https://www.workingclassicists.com/post/the-antiquity-to-alt-right-pipeline

The Nazi's love of America and Rome plus the whole America being based on a lot of Roman stuff (Look at your money motifs... Columns on Lincoln Memorial, White House, etc.), is a whole... thing. People forget the Rome idolization too, but it goes hand in hand with the American stuff.

Hitler's strategic program for Greater Germany was based on the belief in the power of Lebensraum, especially when pursued by a racially superior society.[9] People deemed to be part of non-Aryan races, within the territory of Lebensraum expansion, were subjected to expulsion or destruction.[9] The eugenics of Lebensraum assumed it to be the right of the German Aryan master race (Herrenvolk) to remove the indigenous people in the name of their own living space. They took inspiration for this concept from outside Germany.[9] Hitler and Nazi officials took a particular interest in manifest destiny, and attempted to replicate it in occupied Europe.[11] Nazi Germany also supported other Axis Powers' expansionist ideologies such as Fascist Italy's spazio vitale and Imperial Japan's hakkō ichiu.[12]

Acromis spinifex is a type of tortoise beetle from South America. One of the interesting things about A. spinifex is this species exhibits parental care for its offspring, pictured here with recently laid eggs. This amazing photo is by @djmossoro on IG.
