The Invention of Sieg Heil

Описание: Back in the 1930s, Hitler got the idea for the Sieg Heil chant and stiff arm salute from Ernst Hanfstaengl, a Harvard grad who thought American college football cheers could pump up Nazi rally crowds. Hanfstaengl suggested adapting the rhythmic yelling and gestures to create that intense, unified energy at events like the Nuremberg rallies. It worked like a charm, turning passive audiences into frenzied supporters and becoming a hallmark of Nazi propaganda.
