British Queen doing Nazi salute.

[Kalis]

Footage showing Queen Elizabeth II giving the Nazi salute and doing a Scottish jig has been released by The Sun (a tabloid that has tits in it, for those not familiar with the British press).




She's the taller of the two girls, the other being her sister Princess Margaret. The lady on the left is the Queen Mum and the bloke on the right (in more ways than one) is the Queen's uncle, the future King Edward VIII.

It was made in 1933 and the Queen was 6 or 7 at the time.

I may have only posted this story in order to use this photo.

Hate to break it to everyone, but that Salute existed long before the nazi's.

It is called the Bellamy Salute.

What's wrong with Roman salute? Isn't that part of the European heritage?

[Rixis]

She wasn't the Queen then, it was 82 years ago, it was 6 years before the Second World War started, and it's the Sun.

So few fucks were given.

The Sun is a pathetic rag that no one with any sense reads anyway.

It would be nice to know the context which is hard to get from a photograph. How do we know they aren't waving to someone?

People do realise this was an extremely common salute before it became synonymous with Nazi's right?

People aren't retarded enough to think this was her being a Nazi at 6 years of age right?

Sometimes...just sometimes I wish the Human race would just cease to exist.

yeah, we used to salute like that to the flag during the pledge, back when the pledge was said the right way instead of the new way.

In a just world the Queen would not exist anymore. And her wages definitely should've not gone up this year either.

But continue your stuff.

And she is german btw.

Doesn't a whole Royal family do a lot of charity work?

Why are people so much against Royals when Presidents get a lot of money too, aren't touristic attraction, often doesn't do any charity work and we have to pay for elections every four or five years?

It was a Roman salute I think, Mussolini did it first and then Hitler took it for his own. If I am remember well, even Priests and Popes used to salute this way back in time.

Also the same goes for swastika, isn't it a Hindu symbol? I know they have it on entrances to their homes in India(?), the only difference is Hitler angled it.

It was in 1933. Even if you want to relate it to Hitler, it was back when he was still seen as a "good guy". Pretty disgusting what some news sites/papers/stations will do for attention.

Because Arsenal without any french would have been better. Silly french always leaving their homies.

Your thread.

''Honni soit qui mal y pense''. -2015 Queen Elizabeth II, probably.

WoW! Its almost as if everyone was cool with nazi germany for years, untill they started a war with everyone.
Pretty sure the british invented the whole appeasement idea. In 1933 most countries foreign policy was to just be nice to Hitler, because after WWI the germans just needed to let some steam off. He was hugely popular in most countries for his "strong" actions.
He wasnt seen as any more dangerous than Putin or Bush in our days. Little war hungry. Little bit on the fashist side of things. Some antisemitism. But that was still kind of "normal" back then. But not really all that special in a world were Britain was still abusing its colonies, the Americans were treating their black people like other countries treated their yews and Stalin and Mussolini were doing their thing.

The whole Nazis are the ultimate evil started after the war, when they found the camps (which didnt exist yet) and so on.
Context. Its important.

We would have been better without Cygan, Silvestre and Squillaci.

Wrong. It isn't. And it isn't always angled clockwise.

Plenty of pictures, but the article isn't worth anything.

Because presidents are elected by the people to do a job. The royal family are royalty because they were born into it, don't have any real power in the government, and yet are still getting paid money just for being born with the right last name.
