Most accurate depiction of a Hitler campaign rally

Context: At a Donald Trump rally, he proceeded to ask the crowd to raise their right hands pledging support, and "Solemnly swearing" to him that no matter what happens between now and the election they will vote for him.

Someone already beat you to this. I'm still not sure if they're just waving or not.

A good salesman always gets the potential buyer to make a purchase commitment.

It brings back fond memories, doesn't it?

Sure compare him with Hitler if it loses him the election. If Obams is Hitler, the surely Trump is Hitler, too, and don't get me started on his wife. But is that comparison accurate or useful? I don't see it.

Its an exaggeration but not far off considering he wants to ban a certain peoples from the united states, and wants to kill the families of terrorists and pretty much everyone in the general region with no remorse.

Soe people would have given political asylum to Lenin, Pol Pot, Stalin, and Mao. Why can't we keep certain people out of the country? Whose country is it anyway? Do you think you can move into their countries like they waltz into ours?

It's very far off and it's stupid in any case, since this is Trump and not Hitler. All this roll in the big bad bogeyman comparisons fall short, since they fail to adress what's really wrong with the person in question.
Also, I'm certainly not the one defending that prick, but context is always advisable when looking at a picture. Looks can be deceiving, and this scene (I've watched the video) apart for the usual Trump bravado, is rather innocent.
