What is the meaning of the German words Sieg Heil Fahnleinfuhrer, and how do you pronounce them?
mwestwood Teacher Community / Jr. College eNotes Editor Sieg Heil means “Hail Victory” and was a common Nazi chant at rallies, especially after speeches by Hitler. It was also a salute to Hitler. Sieg Heil Fahnleinfuhrer {zeeg hyeel fawnline feurhreher}means “Hail, Standard Bearer and Leader.” This is a salutation for Adolph Hitler. For this Hitler salute, the right arm is raised at an angle of about 45 degrees above the horizontal and moved slightly to the right. Almost always the salute was “Heil, Hitler” during the Nazi regime. Hitler regarded the salute as indicative of the warlike spirit of the Germans, while the SS general Heinrich Himmler saw it as a variant of a gesture of giving an oath with a raised spear.
