The goose step is a special march step performed in military parades. It is done by swinging your legs in horizontal position with knees locked.Like other march steps, the "Stechschritt" originated in the 18th century as a method to keep troops lined up properly as they advanced towards enemy lines.

That's the characteristic Prussian (and later German) military 'step' used in formal march-pasts and on parade. The main feature is that the soldiers don NOT bend their knees when goose-stepping. It was adopted by most East European armies, too. Look, if you can, at old newsreels and the like, even old photos. There's something unmistakable about marching from the hip, without bending the knee. :)
A female is a "goose" or "hen". A male is a "gander". And a baby/young goose, whether male of female, is a "gosling".
