Hitler adopted the stiff-armed salute for his troops from Benito Mussolini, who had copied the old Roman salute. Hitler went to the extreme had had civilian people punished who would not give the salute. The salute was not given to victory but was given with the verbal salute of "Heil Hitler". ________ Another theory I've heard is that he adopted Mussolini's fascist arm raise only because he had a hand-shaking phobia.
When hoisting and lowering flags, the national flag is typically given the highest priority and should be raised first and lowered last. This signifies its importance and respect. If multiple flags are displayed, the national flag should always be at the top of the flagpole or in the position of honor.

No such thing.
The hand salute is a sign of respect given with the right hand to show no weapon held against the one you are saluting. As such, it could be rendered by anyone, military or not, as a sign of respect. When standing for the passing of the colors or the playing of the National Anthem, however, one's right hand should rest upon the area of the heart as a similar tribute. Recently, the U.S. Congress passed a law allowing veterans to render a salute for the national anthem or passing of colors rather than hand-over-heart at their option.
