The "goose step" was a method used by the German army while on parade. The step involves marching with high steps by keeping your legs straight. The Germans also had tacks attached to bottom of the boots that made a loud click when the heel contacted the pavement. The name does not make a lot of sense. But if you every watched a goose or duck walk, they do seem to walk stiff-legged. Of course, they usually "waddle" side to side when they walk, which is not exactly a military style. Maybe it was a name that was meant to poke fun at the German step. During his trip to Berlin in 1937, Mussolini was impressed by the German goose step. As soon as he returned home, he tried to teach it to his troops.
