All future documents must be in Fraktur.
I did Nazi that joke coming...
its not even funny because the nazis actually abolished Fraktur for being jewish or something..without googling it..yeah, probably something about "being jewish" that used to be their go-to, cant be wrong
Hitler personally disliked Fraktur and gave a speech against it in 1934. It continued to be used as ‘the true German script’ until 1941, when the party did a 180 and banned it under the pretext that it wasn't Fraktur, but Schwabacher, a similar blackletter script, which they called ‘Jewish letters’.
Moreover, it was banned so hard that cursive scripts Kurrent and Sütterlin were forbidden as well. As a result, people educated after 1941 often couldn't read handwritten letters and notes of their ancestors.
As a German, we actually had Sütterlin in school in art class so we did learn it, but for me personally no practical application
