A Man Refuses To Do the Nazi Salute

Wikimedia Commons

At first glance, it probably won’t be easy to spot this lone man who refused to perform the Nazi salute. After all, this 1936 photo is filled with hundreds of people who looked like they were very much willing to do it. The man’s facial expression and gesture pretty much spoke of his resistance. The Nazi salute, which was also referred to as the Hitler Salute, was adopted in the 1930s by the Nazi Party. At present, it is illegal to do it in modern Germany and Austria.
