Usage During and After WW2
During the World War II the salute was used by the Ustaše as their official salute. During this time salute was used in various ways, for example as "Za poglavnika i za dom spremni!" (For Poglavnik and homeland ready) and in form of a question and answer: "Za dom?!" - "Spremni", "Za koga?!" - "Za poglavnika" (For homeland?! - Ready!, For whom?! For Poglavnik!).
The salute was used in Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina during the Croatian War of Independence and Bosnian War. Croatian Defence Forces used it as their official salute and included it in their logo. This salute was an official slogan of the Croatian Party of Rights of Bosnia and Herzegovina until April 2012, when it was replaced by Semper fidelis.
Croatian singer Thompson used that salute at the beginning of his song Bojna Čavoglave.

Famous quotes containing the word usage:
“I am using it [the word ‘perceive’] here in such a way that to say of an object that it is perceived does not entail saying that it exists in any sense at all. And this is a perfectly correct and familiar usage of the word.”
—A.J. (Alfred Jules)
