Usually, it was "'Sieg Heil". In "Triumph of the Will", Hitler himself was videoed leading a crowd in saluting, several times. They ALWAYS said Sieg Heil.
The German-English translation means "hail victory". The Nazi meaning was "we will win" or "we salute the highest".
"Sieg heil mein fuhrer" was used sometimes when saluting Hitler.

Consider this. It is customary for all armed forces the world over to salute each other (within their own military of course) as a customary respect, especially to those of higher authority/rank(ergo the "mein fuhrer'). It would then also be assumed that by adding speech to their salute, in this case senario it makes perfect sense to train your troops to always have a optimistic view at least in an outward fashion considering the events of WWII. What better propaganda within your own force than to take an age old custom and reinforce your own custom of taking over the world?

This was a representative of the German Olympic commite, this is why the BBC highlighted them and zoomed in on them when the German team came out, I'm quite shocked that they would do that when they know full well they are representing Germany in the biggest sporting event in the world

Yes it does mean that. They also say Seig Heil which translates to "victory and welfare". Mein Fuhrer was used when addresing Adolf Hitler. He was called Der Fuhrer which means The Leader.

Usually nazis said "Heil Hitler", "hail Hitler", showing their loyalty to their leader. Also, they said "zieg heil", much the same. They said "mein fuhrer" to show they were saluting their leader, showing that they loved him.

I think they r sayin my leader to Hilter as they respected him greatly... so basically the salute is to honour Hitler.

Gee, how about "Sich Heil!", which is what they usually have Nazis saying when they did the stiff arm salute.
