德國人的見面禮
for millions throughout germany in the early days of the second world war, hitler was a focus of loyalty bordering on religious devotion. the following is what a german schoolgirl wrote in 1940.
'one thing(this teacher) did like to receive from us was"heil hitler!" every day we had to greet her, and other grown-ups, with this salute. i was used to doing this, but it still embarrassed me. on my way to school one day i went into a busy shop without making the greeting, thinking no one would notice, but a shop assistant pounced on me, saying angrily,"don't you know the german greeting?" she made me walk out and come back into the shop again, using the right salute. then she started talking loudly to the other customers about children's bad manners nowadays.'
