A list of puns related to "Georg Joachim Göschen"
>In February 1937, Ribbentrop committed a notable social gaffe by unexpectedly greeting King George VI with the "German greeting", a stiff-armed Nazi salute:[73] the gesture nearly knocked over the King, who was walking forward to shake Ribbentrop's hand at the time.[72] Ribbentrop further compounded the damage to his image and caused a minor crisis in Anglo-German relations by insisting that henceforward all German diplomats were to greet heads of state by giving and receiving the stiff-arm fascist salute.[72] The crisis was resolved when Neurath pointed out to Hitler that under Ribbentrop's rule, if the Soviet ambassador were to give the Communist clenched-fist salute, then Hitler would be obliged to return it.[74] On Neurath's advice, Hitler disavowed Ribbentrop's demand that King George receive and give the "German greeting".[75]
