It was a Hitler salute. Kind of ironic to find this Q. I just received my grandfathers prisoner ring from his time during his stay as a prisoner of war in a German concentration camp. I'm sure it actually has a literal meaning in German but I really hate to hit a wiki-website for the answer.

Hail victory
Sieg Heil is a German phrase, which literally means "Hail victory." During the Nazi era, it was a common chant at political rallies. When meeting someone, it was customary in Nazi Germany to give the Hitler salute and say the words "Sieg Heil". At political rallies such as the one at Nuremburg, banners were displayed displaying the message "Sieg Heil" along with the swastika. The NSDAP (Nazi Party) made a pin badge in 1933 displaying a victory wreath, the Swastika, and the words "Sieg Heil".
"Heil Hitler" was the alternative Nazi greeting.
The expression itself was born during a party meeting, when Joseph Goebbels said "Sieg heil" and all supported the phrase.
