I would like to add one more thing about those pictures.One of them has a date of 1933 and I am sure many of the others are pre 1939.Nothing that important was happening in 1933 and for many years to come.Hitler had not started a War,started the final solution,or any other problems that lead anyone to believe he was capable of what he was doing.He was simply just the man in charge of Germany.

Giving the Hitler salute back in 1933 would be the equivalent of a priest putting his hand over his heart for the signing of the national anthem.They were simply showing respect for their Prime minister nothing more.

Many older editions of Rudyard Kipling's books have a swastika printed on their covers associated with a picture of an elephant carrying a lotus flower. Since the 1930s this has raised the possibility of Kipling being mistaken for a Nazi-sympathiser, though the Nazi party did not adopt the swastika until 1920. Kipling's use of the swastika was based on the Indian sun symbol conferring good luck and well-being; the word derived from the Sanskrit word svastika meaning "auspicious object". He used the swastika symbol in both right- and left-facing orientations, and it was in general use at the time. Even before the Nazis came to power, Kipling ordered the engraver to remove it from the printing block so that he should not be thought of as supporting them. Less than one year before his death Kipling gave a speech (titled "An Undefended Island") to The Royal Society of St George on 6 May 1935 warning of the danger Nazi Germany posed to the UK.
