"Fun" Fact: that chart isn't even a joke - it is actually, factually, pretty accurate. You can get a prison sentence of up to 3 years for that particular gesture.

GemÀß § 86a Absatz 1 und 2 StGB ist es nicht erlaubt, nationalsozialistische Symbole, Grußformeln oder Parolen zu verwenden. Der Hitlergruß wird [...] mit bis zu drei Jahren Freiheitsstrafe geahndet

...on the other hand, it is a wonderful piece of irony that a joke about Germans turns out to be a non-joke in disguise, lol. German humor is no laughing matter, after all!

Every time a German waves a Pole sweats

Is this affected by the speed of light?

It's now very well documented, but Polish people can actually just ignore the laws of physics at will and thereby sweat the instant a german waves

If you don't do it right it doesn't count.

A correct Hitler Gruß is made with the right arm.

You stretch the whole arm and hand flat and then raise it in 45Β° angle relative to your head.

-sees german friend

I feel like this applies more to white Americans today than modern Germans
