   I wish the Nazis had not invented such a uniquely recognisable salute!

   Edit: I should have said ‘embraced’, not invented.

     Apparently they didn't it was a modification of a similar salute the Romans created, as with the Swasticka which can be found on much older buildings.

     But that aside, I agree and understand your point.
