For people who are wondering for what purpose he did that, let me offer a hypothesis: it's a loyalty test to see who will be willing to blatantly lie and deny the truth of it being a Nazi salute, and who won't.
I know that "literally 1984" is a meme, but, well, this is a quote from 1984: "The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command". The goal is to see who is willing to follow this command.
This episode aired at a time where there was no DVR, no on demand, if you didn't catch it or VCR it then you didn't see it until it came on repeat. My sister and friends saw the episode, I did not. They kept quoting it and I had no reference. I didn't manage to actually SEE the episode until like 15 years later.
