Re: Any ex-LW adviser for 1969 BofB film?
Well in 1940 that was indeed not the standard military nor Luftwaffe salute, to that extend it would be unprofessional for a soldier to do so.
Of course that doesn't mean it wasn't done before before july 44, but it was just not "military" to do so.
Therefor unless you have proof that they did use the Nazi salute, it is more likely they didn't.
For all his popularity I always thought it interesting that Galland wasn't part of the reemerging post war Luftwaffe, while many others like Steinhoff were. Not to cast the first stone, but Galland was probably unfitting for high command (like so many in the Nazi era turned out to be).
