[Please post in Plan Text --thanks]

My apology if you have seen this already, but it is worth enjoying some late
Schadenfreude.
The general belief was the nazis just loved the Gothic alphabet, until they
discovered its Jewish roots, the "Schwabacher Judenlettern".
The attached nazi letter therefore declares the Antiqua font as the "normal
font".
A more complete background is given here:
