The nazis were considered a force for good against the communists whom the ruling classes were terrified of. The salute was thought polite

@EmmaKennedy leaving aside Brenda who was too young, it seemed to all be a lark for Ed and QMum. A not very nice lark.

@EmmaKennedy antisemitism wasn't exactly frowned upon then either.

@EmmaKennedy the nazis were considered a force for good by the ruling classes for many reasons. Many reasons were far from polite.

@EmmaKennedy What next? People upset that we funded the Afghan opposition in the early 80s?

@EmmaKennedy but even then a lot of people knew what the Nazis stood for. The royal family spoke - and speak - fluent German.

@EmmaKennedy The ruling classes thought the Nazis were a force for good? Well, that's OK then.

@Jstn9 yes. Fascism was very popular in the 1930's. Primarily because everyone was terrified of the communists

@Jstn9 I know it seems mad now but in 1933, that was the prevailing attitude

@EmmaKennedy The really scary thing is people often get more right-wing as they get older.

@stiggandberries @EmmaKennedy and Edward gathering them around the wireless to listen to Hitlers speeches. They knew what he meant.

@EmmaKennedy And if not polite, then (intrinsically) comic, like the goosestep. Only time has imbued them with evil.
