<HTML>There\'s a date in 1943 or 1944 from which point on all parts of the armed forces had to use the nazi salute, if I remember correctly. Up until that date they used the normal \'\'right hand to the cap screen\'\' salute. I think Doenitz changed this Hitler order in the last days of the 3rd Reich, going back to the traditional salute instead of the Nazi salute.</HTML>
