Usage notes

  • Sieg Heil became the salute of the German National Socialist (Nazi) party in the 1920s. It developed into the so called Hitler salute, the use of which was later made obligatory to all Germans in the Third Reich. After WWII, the public use of any form of the Hitler salute was criminalized in Germany (through § 86a StGB) and Austria. In Germany it is punishable with up to three years in prison.
