Wait... Did the Wehrmacht really didn't do the Heil Hitler salute?

Before July 1944 Wermacht uses standard military salute. Heil Hitler was used in SS and NSDAP. After July 1944 - in Wehrmacht too.

July 1944, you mean after the 20th July Plot?

Obviously, because after that, the entire Wehrmacht had to re-swear their oath to Hitler personally.

bcz, Liz Shaw, Yes. I mean 20th July plot.

Many high ranking officials in the Whermacht had a hatred of the racial policies imposed by Hitler. Moreover, the Whermacht never got on well with the SS, the SS being Hitler's "Preatorian Guards" and therefore being treated much better than the Whermacht. During the 20th July Plot, the conspirators attempted to arrest SS officials and then close the concentration camps (as they were run by the SS). One of the targets was Himmler himself, but fortunately (for him), he didn't go to the meeting at the Wolf's Lair.

Is it possible to make the character salute in return when soldiers salute him? It would be much realistic as officers normally salute back.
