Refer ro Peter Lemkin's post #5.
Dr. Strangelove presumably had a conditional reflex or a neuromuscular tic.
Yes, such a movement is possible when putting that arm and hand in that position to acknowledge someone in front of you at a distance, as if to say, "Hi." It would be done only once, and not neccessarily repeated, or maintained.
There are some 700.000 different hand gestures that are possible, I've been told. I don't know how many arm positions are possible, but when waving one's arm aloft or pointing at an object overhead, it will be, if only for a microsecond or so, in that familiar Fascist salute position. A modern camera could register such a position.
It all depends upon the circumstances and the individual making such a gesture. A photograph may prove nothing sinister, or everything sinister..
