"Explaining to a secretary what the cadets were doing in the photo, Byrd allegedly said: “That’s why they do that, because I’m a hardass like Hitler.”
The instructor allegedly “encouraged it, reveled in it, and at times reciprocated” the Nazi salute, the probe found.
Byrd was determined to be the one who took the class photo, retaking it several times because 10 of the cadets did not participate in the Nazi salute until she ordered them to, the report said."
at least ten of them had to be ordered to do it....the other twenty were already familiar with the gesture, apparently....
