Nazi salutes were often given in derision. Early in WWii itself, I recall, there was a round dance to the distinguished songwriter [Red Sails In The Sunset, South of the Border &c &c &c] Jimmy Kennedy's satirical song, We're Going To Hang Up The Washing On The Siegfried Line, which involved goose-stepping in a circle giving a pretend Nazi salute. Putting a forefinger across the upper lip to represent a pretend moustache and exclaiming Heil Hitler while giving a pretend Nazi salute was a popular game among small children.
