Nazi salute
Arm thrust forward
A Nazi salute is the gesture of extending the right arm stiffly forward and upward, palm down, used as a greeting and expression of loyalty in Nazi Germany.
The gesture is illegal in Germany and several other countries, and its use elsewhere typically signals white supremacist or neo-Nazi sympathies.
Also called the Hitler salute or Heil Hitler salute.
