"the Hitler salute"

 

[Arnie7]

Some of you are missing the bigger picture here. A little kid (in this case the future Queen) grew up in a environment that supported fascism and might have been influenced here. The Palace's response and the general public is of faux outrage "how dare they publish the Royal family showing to having ties to Nazism - this is embarrassing". We should be asking questions as to the links between the Royals and factions at the time. But no the PR machine is going into overdrive here. God damn lizards and looking glass here people.

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Wouldn't even use that newspaper as toilet paper. Worthless rag.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Huh.

Slow news day, huh.

Circulation must be terrible of they are having to resort to such desperate depths.

Are you from Liverpool?

 

[SymbiantXenos]

Are you from Liverpool?

Nope, opinion is still the same though.

 

[BocoDragon]

Buddhists and Hindus caught using the swastika thousands of years ago. For shame.

 

[Addnan]

YEEES, maybe this will bring about the down fall of our monarchy...

The Saxe-Coburg-Gotha's in supporting Nazi's shocker. Anyone with a passing knowledge of politics in the 1930's shouldn't really be surprised. Both brothers were sympathetic to the Nazi's, Edward far more so. Four of Phil's sisters married into the Nazi's and his nephew is called Karl Adolf in honour of old Adolf. The 'Windsors' and all hereditary aristocrats are essentially political chameleons to protect their own positions. Had the Nazi's successfully invaded Britain, lets just say the 'Windsor's wouldn't have been leading the resistance from the New Forest, they'd have used their familial connections along with the connections they were careful to put in place before the war to remain in position.

Hell during the first World war, King George V was technically a field marshal in the Germany army. It was round about this time, he decided that Windsor was a bit more English sounding.

But hey, touched by God remember.

i really wanna hire the guy who found this footage to find the other pair of my socks

 

[industrian]

That's not a Hitler salute.

The Queen's just an unabashed Rangers fan.

 

[bomma_man]

Edward was a fascist cunt, no surprises

 

[way more]

Oh who isn't a Nazi at age 6, really?

 

[Jeevesmeister]

Convincing enough for me, the Queen is clearly the secret Lady Hitler revealed at the end of a secret, unreleased Wolfenstein expansion, that the Jade Helm invasion of Texas was conceived in order to sieze and destroy any remaining evidence. Clearly the only reasonable response is to put the Queen on trial for being a good for nothing Nazi and then gas the Nazi fuck.

 

[MWS Natural]

Could have been mocking them, who knows?

This made me laugh.

You're looking at it with 21st century eyes. In 1933 fascism was seen by many as a very promising new political movement. Remember that the Spanish Civil War, the Kristallnacht, the annexation of Austria and Czechoslovakia, the invasion of Poland and the holocaust hadn't happened. The Russian revolution had happened only fifteen years before and there was a huge fear that something like that might happen in the rest of Europe. I'm not surprised that in the early thirties part of the British aristocracy liked what was happening in Italy and Germany. "Now here's a new strong political movement that espouses traditional national values and wants to halt the Bolsheviks! Just look what they've done to the sagging economies of those countries. Their ideas work!"

Way ahead of their time

The queen should like resign or something

 

[lastplayed]

Also UK royal family are German.

No they aren't. Sure they have German lineage, but how many other countries could you include there?

 

[Chariot]

No they aren't. Sure they have German lineage, but how many other countries could you include there?

Royal Europe is my favorite incest porn.

 

[Walshicus]

No they aren't. Sure they have German lineage, but how many other countries could you include there?

In so far as they and the rest of Europe's "nobility" are part of a pan-European élite in of themselves more than the host nations they leach off of, I guess.

The Time's Man of the Year is not a positive award per se. It is the person that has influenced the world the most in a given year. Other winners include Stalin twice, Nikita Khrushchev and Ayatollah Khomeini. In that optic, it is kinda strange to see Hitler only win once.

 

[kmax]

The Sun is a joke of a newspaper.

Murdoch's business ventures ought to be banned outright. Vile crap.

 

[heliosRAzi]

Wasnt that the standard salute back then?

 

[Rad-]

She just wanted a high five but got ignored.

Back then, when it still was a Heil Five

O.k the title made me laugh.

Why didnt she google jew holocaust?

 

[hal9001]

I hate how the media and PR team keep quoting how King Edward VIII was "sympathetic" to the Nazi cause. He was a full blown supporter of Hitler and his regime up till old age, there is no sympathetic about it.

What was the original title?

 

[Chariot]

What was the original title?

The same as it is now just without the four last words.

 

[QuicheFontaine]

This is a great story and thoroughly newsworthy!

 

[firehawk12]

That fucking headline.

 

[thenexus6]

Its not just the front page, its also like the first 5-6 pages in the newspaper too which I find hilarious.

 

[itwasTuesday]

what's on page 8?

 

[Vic]

This is what we call a 'clickbait' around these parts.

 

[MrBadger]

Damn, anything to start a controversy...a 6 year old doing a solute associated with an event that hadn't even happened yet at that point in time

 

[Keasar]

And somehow the Hydra Salute makes now more sense than the Hitler one.

They look so happy whenever they do that. Really takes the seriousness off from it.

"Yaaaaay!"

 

[Velcro Fly]

Who do we tweet angrily to to get her fired from her job?

 

[Chariot]

Damn, anything to start a controversy...a 6 year old doing a solute associated with an event that hadn't even happened yet at that point in time

Wasn't she crowned Queen after they discovered her inherent magical powers that includes clairvoyance?

They look so happy whenever they do that. Really takes the seriousness off from it.

"Yaaaaay!"

Haha, I always thought that it looled like the beginning of a weird dance, like one where you thrust the air.

 

[CoolOff]

Never has this been more fitting.

I think we can count on one hand the amount of people actively warning against Hitler in -33.

 

[Escape Goat]

Hitler and the Nazi party came to power in 1933.
