a trio of unrelated questions. where did Hitler get his ridiculous salute and goosestep march from.?

Did he tell all his men one day," from today you are all going to do this half arsed salute and walk like foolish geese"? How did they feel about that I wonder? And secondly, why do the Filipinos have this really stupid habit of opening their mouths wide showing all their dental work, or lack of , in response to a question.? Did an elder tribesman hundreds of years ago say, "henceforth all persons shall open their mouths as wide as possible any time someone asks a question. Do not answer the question, just stand there looking stupid catching flies"? And lastly, where does this irritating practice of broadcasting all church services through ROOF mounted speakers come from. What makes the Pinoy think EVERYONE wants to hear, where does this practice come from? what did they do before amplifiers.? A Sign on a large Filipino church says," you are now in the temple of the Lord, please observe silence." Each service is broadcast at full volume through speakers even though there is a HOSPITAL next door. Notice in that hospital," please observe silence." Each day a mass is held in the ward corridors using an amplifier. Is it me or are some people really stupid and non-caring?

Alex beat me to it. The Roman salute was same, and much of what you see on Germany, WW2, Hitler, seems to have derived from Ancient Rome, including the Eagle on the standard. Plus Mussolini may well have instigated the ridiculous goosestep, would be interested to know if it actually goes back long before. The goose-step is a special form of military step which is usually demonstrated in solemn military parades and passes in review of closed units. The marching troops swing their legs from a vertical leg to a nearly horizontally-extending one, bringing it down with a loud simultaneous stepping noise and continuing the cycle in unison. It emerged from Prussian drilling regulation during the early 19th Century, where it was known as Stechschritt (literally, '"piercing step") and Can't help with last bit of question. Spicey only the goosestepping bit, after all you didn't know either, but the other stuff i did
