A Nazi Farewell to Pinochet
A group of young people pays respect to the late general Augusto Pinochet. The youngsters are making the Nazi salute that Hitler and his followers imprinted in history. A very shocking image by the EFE Agency.
Do these people know what they are doing? Is this a show-off or are they really passionate supporters of everything Nazism stood for? What do you think of the picture and the gesture?

Unbelievable!

That is one of the most disturbing pictures I've seen in a long time.

Did they confirm they are Nazis, or maybe they are "blessing" Pinochet by praying with their hand over him?

The nazi salute is a variation of the roman salute.
Here in Mexico, when presidents are sworn into office, they use a similar straight-handed gesture.
You can read my post about it (spanish/english) by clicken in my name.

Pinochet was not a nazi, neither were his supporters. This picture is pure sensationalism.

Pinochet was a Nazi and his supporters as well. You should never forget the slaughter, torture and imprisonments he carried out under his rule of the country.
