Saxon Greeting?[edit]

I've heard of the Vulcan Greeting, but Saxon? GoodDay 21:13, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't know when the picture was taken, but 'rougeing of the knees' seems to have still been popular!81.107.245.123 (talk) 22:58, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This article seems to be an example of particularly cunning cynicism[edit]

So what is exactly meant by this alleged Nazi German BDM gymnastic exercise "Sachsen Gruß" (saxon greeting). We do not learn ! Of course not, cause it's BS. No German sources are given. You won't find anything right about this rose Sachsen Gruss either. On the other hand, anyone who has taken a closer look at Nazi concentration camps is familiar with the real meaning of the term. In the cynical language of the Nazis, "Saxon salute" means a posture similar to raised hands, shown by prisoners as a sign of their defenselessness/abandonment: hands crossed behind the neck ! This obvious disinformation article stands uncriticized for almost 20 (!) years. Not a good sign for quality management at Wikipedia... --2001:A61:5DD:D01:D4BF:FC55:3DC:124 (talk) 17:39, 22 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
