Heil is the actual Nazi salute. And...y'know...HYDRA are Nazis.
Why is it "Hail HYDRA" and not "Heil HYDRA?"
Spelling reasons. You know how Grey and Gray are both correct? color, and colour? Since it's an American comic, we spell it like Hail.
@_atomikill_: But "heil" is specific to the pan-German movement, and was only used in tandem with "Heil Hitler" or "Heil mein Fuhrer." It's a Nazi Germany thing, it isn't just an alternate spelling. In fact, they're pronounced slightly differently as well.
In response to your edit: I'm not sure Heil is actually the German word for Hail. I know the other kind of Hail is Hagel, and that Heil is really only associated as having to do with Nazi Germany.
@jaken7: I think it's because they're speaking English and not German.
@arturocalakayvee: Read post #4. ^_^
