This is an act of hailing a superior or showing respect to a legion of soldiers. It originated in ancient Rome and should be carried on without it always being associated with a short lived German political party. Fucking historians.





The exact fucking same applies to the Confederate Battle Flag, which was not even all that popular at the time. State and Unit insignias and flags were flown much more frequently by the South, for the simple reason that they were much more informative to the commanders watching the battles.
