^what he said

(automated translation) There is no need to start by making this unnecessarily complicated. Anyone on a political stage giving a political speech in front of a partly right-wing extremist audience who raises their right arm in a swinging manner and at an angle several times is doing the Hitler salute. There is no need for “supposed” or “similar” or “controversial”. The gesture speaks for itself, it is documented in the video. Anyone who then wants to reinterpret it, whoever doesn't want to see the Hitler salute, does so at their own expense.ALT

“One doesn’t need to make things unnecessarily complicated at the outset. He who raises his right arm at a slant forcefully and repeatedly while standing on a political stage at a political speech in front of a partially extreme right public is performing the Hitler salute. There is no need for ‘allegedly’ or 'similar’ or 'debated’. The gesture speak for itself, it is documented on video. Whoever then wants to reinterpret it, whoever doesn’t want to see (i.e., refuses to recognize) the Hitler salute, does so on their own behalf.”

(sorry I am really bad at translating but this is roughly what it says, for my non-German speaking mutuals)
