The "Nazi salute" didn't begin with the Nazis, it began in ancient times with the Romans, when Julius Caeser became Emperor.
Then in the 1890's it became the "Bellamy Salute," named after Francis Bellamy, who wrote The Pledge of Alleigance.
Then when Benito Mussolini rose to power in Italy during the 1920's it became the Fascist Salute.
Shortly thereafter, when Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany, he adopted the salute for the Nazi Regime.
So you see, the salute itself has had a varied history.

@Sidewinder The swastika didn't start with the NSDAP either but it doesn't change much in the real world.

@Kenworth4954 Umm no. Not everyone is in a cult like you Trumpists.

@Dave1955 While I don't approve of the salute anymore than you do, I'd like to point out that my aforementioned comment and the pictures therein were purely for educational purposes only.
To show the lesser informed how it originated and how it transpired throughout the ages.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I'm not a Trumpist, nor in a cult of any kind.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I'm aware of that.
The swastika 卍 (manji, in Japanese, or wàn in Chinese) was originally a symbol associated with ancient Oriental culture, particularly with buddhism.
The NSDAP adopted the reversed version as their symbol.
