Durante décadas los niños y niñas estadounidenses saludaron con el saludo nazi, hasta que italianos, alemanes y españoles lo convirtieron en parte de su credo. Hace poco Getty Images, forzado por varios historiadores, tuvo que cambiar los pies de foto. «Nunca fuimos nazis», afirmó uno de ellos.
Hubo argucias bastante sucias. Aunque Lindbergh no apoyaba abiertamente a los nazis, se le acusó de simpatizar con Hitler.
Hombre... eso de que no apoyaba abiertamente a los nazis... no se Rick, igual no fue por esa foto:
In an essay for Reader’s Digest in November 1939, Lindbergh cautioned against “a war within our own family of nations, a war which will reduce the strength and destroy the treasures of the White race,” and he further pleaded, “let us not commit racial suicide by internal conflict.”
(1941) Harold Ickes, secretary of the interior in the Roosevelt administration, publicly challenged Lindbergh to denounce Nazi Germany. Lindbergh declined.
"The organized vitality of Germany was what most impressed me: the unceasing activity of the people, and the convinced dictatorial direction to create the new factories, airfields, and research laboratories...," Lindbergh recalled in "Autobiography of Values." His wife drew similar conclusions. "...I have never in my life been so conscious of such a directed force. It is thrilling when seen manifested in the energy, pride, and morale of the people--especially the young people," she wrote in "The Flower and the Nettle." By 1938, the Lindberghs were making plans to move to Berlin.
Lindbergh published an article in Reader's Digest stating, "That our civilization depends on a Western wall of race and arms which can hold back... the infiltration of inferior blood."
It was during this trip that Göring awarded Lindbergh the Commander Cross of the Order of the German Eagle. A few weeks after this meeting, the Nazis launched their infamous anti-Jewish pogrom, Kristallnacht, and many in the U.S. pushed Lindbergh to return the Nazi medal. He refused. “If I were to return the German medal, it seems to me that it would be an unnecessary insult,” he said.
After World War II broke out in Europe on September 1, 1939, Lindbergh wrote an article for the November issue of Reader’s Digest titled “Our civilization depends on peace among Western nations.” Lindbergh publicly and vehemently called for the U.S. not to intervene during Germany’s invasions of Poland and Czechoslovakia.
It was the following year that Lindbergh became a spokesman for the AFC and ramped up his anti-Semitic messaging, particularly against newspapers and radio broadcasts that Lindbergh insinuated were controlled by Jews looking to plunge America into war with the Nazis.
No sé porque lo llaman saludo nazi y no saludo romano
Al final, el aparato del Reich, como el de Mussolini, lo que buscó fueron símbolos que poder apropiarse para generar una cierta legitimidad e imagen de unidad.
#3 La participación yankee en la WWII tiende a simplificarse con Pearl Harbor, pero la situación social y política era algo más complicada (Y los inmigrantes alemanes en USA no eran pocos).
#4 De hecho, quizás deberían llamarlo saludo Sirio...
Me explico:
Explicación de la batalla que llevó la victoria a Vespasiano (Flavius Vespasianus) por su general Antonius Primus en contra de las tropas de Vitelio:
Led by the dynamic Antonius Primus, they swept the Roman cities of northern Italy and finally met Vitellius’s forces in October of 69 A.D. at the Second Battle of Bedriacum. The battle was long and hard-fought, continuing on through the night. It was a single misunderstanding that would finally lead to victory for Primus. Primus’s Legion III Gallica had spent many years in Syria, and they picked up a local custom of saluting the sun when it rose. When the Vitellians saw this, they thought the men were saluting new reinforcements. In despair, they broke and ran, and the Flavian forces pursued them and continued on to Rome. They entered the capital in December.
Se dice que de ese gesto, con el brazo en alto saludando al sol, salió lo que hoy conocemos como "saludo romano".

Lástima que el titular sea sensacionalista, porque la historia es interesante.
Hacían el juramento Bellamy, no el saludo nazi.
El propio artículo comenta que los historiadores se queja del error de llamarlo “saludo nazi”.
