Nazi salute originated in USA's Pledge of Allegiance to flag !! NEWS !!
The bellamy salute was not based on the “ancient roman salute,” which is a myth. There was no such official gesture/salute in ancient rome and Bellamy never said such a thing as the concept/myth did not even exist when Bellamy created the Pledge of Allegiance. However the Roman salute myth might have evolved from the fact that francis bellamy lived in rome, NY and attended the "Rome academy" and people from the area then and now refer to themselves as "Romans."
