Not for nothing, but it could also be tourists. Not defending nazis, because I would argue that being drunk lowers inhibitions, but it doesn't make you a nazi.
Yes, tourists sometimes think it would be funny. But this did not happen at the Oktoberfest in Munich. It was an Oktoberfest in a village in Saxony with about 2500 inhabitants (actually a collection of several villages). I would bet the chances of tourists being present are very close to zero.
Some people visit Saxony. Cool castles, Dresden... yeah Ok probably not tourists.

Right, but we're talking about the people in this photo. Germans and Austrians know not to make nazi salutes because you could face legal repercussions. That's a weird concept for Americans, though. I kind of wish we did jail more nazis, but that's besides the point.
