That’s my understanding as well, with some “Roman” origin claimed, possibly as propaganda given how the Nazi party liked connecting themselves to ancient Rome as some kind of claim to legitimacy.

I’d love to be able to add the Bellamy salute inspiration bit in when I do have this conversation with folks, but I’d need a better source before I do.

Zero argument on the larger point of Hitler’s idolization of America (the worst bits), quite familiar with it already. Hitler also admired Jim Crow laws and wrote about them specifically.

My point is that I’ve never encountered a reliable source to the specific claim that the Nazi salute took inspiration from the Bellamy salute, rather than being coincidentally similar. The wiki page linked even purports the origin of the Nazi salute to be the “Roman salute”, albeit itself based on bad history.

It’s a point I’d love to be able to make when having this same argument with folks, but I’m not going to tell people that the Nazi salute was based on the Bellamy salute without a better source than a Wikipedia article that claims otherwise.

Your link does not support your claim

Later, during the 1920s and 1930s, Italian fascists and Nazi Germans adopted a salute which was very similar, which originated with the so-called Roman salute, a gesture falsely attributed to ancient Rome.

Do you know of any other accounts that would support the Bellamy salute as being the inspiration for the Nazi salute, apart from looking similar?

this is wild oversimplification

It’s really not even converting, as percent is literally “1/100” (per-cent = per 100). It’s purely convenient shorthand.

If you extract a key from a proprietary client to decrypt a private API, it definitely is illegal. If you do this as a corporation, it would also be easy to detect by abnormal usage patterns tied to your account and presents you as a nice big set of pockets to get sued.

Just screen scraping isn’t illegal, but is fragile as fuck and will break at the worst time and you have no ability to implement version control to manage it.
