Nazi dipshits in 1941:
“Today the Führer […] decided that roman is from now on to be designated as the standard letter. All printed products will be progressively changed over to this standard letter. The use of Schwabacher-Jewish letters by authorities will in future cease”.
Nazi dipshits in 2025:
“To restore decorum and professionalism […] and abolish yet another wasteful DEIA program, the Department is returning to Times New Roman as its standard typeface.”

![Nazi edict banning blackletter as “Judenlettern” 1941 [as shown in ‘Blackletter: Type and National Identity’, with English translation by Robin Kinross]:
“
Circular letter (not for publication)
For general notice on behalf of the Führer:
It is false to regard or to describe the so-called gothic script as a German script. In reality the so-called gothic script consists of Schwabacher-Jewish letters. Just as they later took possession of newspapers, so the Jews living in Germany owned the printing offices at the introduction of printing and thus there came about the strong influx into Germany of Schwabacher-Jewish letters.
Today the Führer, in a discussion with Herr Reichsleiter Amann and the printer Herr Adolf Müller, decided that roman is from now on to be designated as the standard letter. All printed products will be progressively changed over to this standard letter. As soon as is feasible, only the standard script will be taught in schools.
The use of Schwabacher-Jewish letters by authorities will in future cease; certificates of appointment for officials, street-name signs, and the like, will in future only be produced in standard lettering.
By order of the Führer, Herr Reichsleiter
Amann will first change over to the standard script those newspapers and magazines that already have a foreign distribution or whose foreign circulation is desired.
On behalf of M. Bormann
