WHAT DOES SIEG HEIL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Sieg Heil

Nazi salute

The Nazi salute or Hitler salute is a gesture that was used as a greeting in Nazi Germany. The salute is performed by extending the right arm in the air with a straightened hand. Usually, the person offering the salute would say "Heil Hitler!", "Heil, mein Führer!", or "Sieg heil!". It was adopted in the 1930s by the Nazi Party to signal obedience to the party's leader – Adolf Hitler – and to glorify the German nation. The salute was mandatory for civilians but mostly optional for military personnel, who retained the traditional military salute until shortly after the failed assassination attempt on Hitler in 1944. Use of this salute is currently a criminal offense in Germany, the Czech Republic, and Austria. In Switzerland, it is a legal expression, unless used for propagating Nazi ideology.
