Drückebergergasse
Drückebergergasse (English: "Shirker's Alley") is the popular name for Viscardigasse, a narrow, curbless pedestrian street, just over fifty metres long and paved with cobblestones throughout, in Munich, Germany. The street is officially named after the Swiss Baroque architect Giovanni Antonio Viscardi, but took its nickname from the 1930s, when locals could circumvent the nearby Nazi memorial to the martyrs of the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, thus avoiding the requirement to render a Hitler salute to the guarded structure. The alley has a memorial to those who resisted such Nazi tyranny, installed in 1995, in the form of a line of bronze cobbles, "" (English: "Arguments"). It was designed by the artist .

Blutzeugen
''Blutzeuge'' ( German for "blood witness") was a term used in Nazi Germany for members of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) and associated organizations considered to be martyrs. ''Blutzeuge'' was used in Nazi propaganda in the 1930s and 1940s depicting a hero cult of "fallen" Nazis who had been murdered by opponents in the political violence in Germany during the Weimar Republic and after the seizure of control in January 1933. An early Nazi usage of the term was Adolf Hitler's dedication at the start of ''Mein Kampf'', which he dedicated to the sixteen NSDAP members killed in the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch. Notable ''Blutzeuge'' * Wilhelm Gustloff, founder of the NSDAP/AO branch in Switzerland assassinated in 1936. * Herbert Norkus, 15-year-old member of the Hitler Youth murdered in a fight with '' Roter Frontkämpferbund'' youths in 1932. * Max Erwin von Scheubner-Richter, early prominent NSDAP member and close associate of Adolf Hitler killed in the ...

Hitler Salute
The Nazi salute, also known as the Hitler salute (german: link=no, Hitlergruß, , Hitler greeting, ; also called by the Nazi Party , 'German greeting', ), or the ''Sieg Heil'' salute, is a gesture that was used as a greeting in Nazi Germany. The salute is performed by extending the right arm from the shoulder into the air with a straightened hand. Usually, the person offering the salute would say "''Heil Hitler!''" (lit. 'Hail Hitler!', ), ''"Heil, mein Führer!"'' ('Hail, my leader!'), or ''"Sieg Heil!"'' ('Hail victory!'). It was adopted in the 1930s by the Nazi Party to signal obedience to the party's leader, Adolf Hitler, and to glorify the German nation (and later the German war effort).
