Re: Any ex-LW adviser for 1969 BofB film?
Pentathlon gold medallist, colleague of Galland, and serving LW officer, Gotthard Handrick, saw fit to give the Hitlergruss on the Olympic podium in 1936.
Surely he would not have done so had it been 'unprofessional'? I believe the Hitlergruss was voluntary. So it is quite possible that the ultra-keen Galland would have given the Hitlergruss at an historically important point in 1940 when all believed German victory was inevitable, and, more importantly, the news photographers were present to record it. The Italian Silvano Abba also unsurprisingly gave the Hitlergruss, while the American Charles Leonard correctly saluted. Tony Last edited by tcolvin; 25th November 2010 at 14:00.
