Absolutely nothing! This is an English/British insult that dates back to the Plantagenet kings of England and the wars they fought in France to try to hold on to the French lands inherited from Richard I.
At the time it was common practice for the French to cut off the index and middle fingers of captured English archers to prevent them from being able to use a bow again. English archers would "stick two fingers up" at the French defenders as an insult and to show that they still had their bow fingers.
When using gestures to insult someone, Germans give the "bird".
