Design Would You Like to See the Design Handbook for All of Nazism?
Posted by Jen Graves on Tue, Feb 8, 2011 at 11:34 AM
Well, friends, a scholar has recently rediscovered it. And here it is in somewhat creepier fashion, for sale for $695.
(Thanks for the tip, Mr. T.)

I'm slightly surprised to discover that the Nazis weren't responsible for the creation of comic sans.

I like that they have this front page quote:
They say that they sell WWII items. This much is true. They sell Nazi memorabillia. Only Nazi. No US. No Japan. No UK. Just Nazis. Nazi maps. Nazi manuals. Nazi photos. Nazi documents. Nazi uniforms. Oohh replica Zyklon B canisters! They even have a special little section for Gestapo and SS stuff.
Maybe they're the sweetest ACLU donors in the world, but I wouldn't reccomend inviting them over for Passover.
This is a private, scholarly website of historical information and material which embraces NO political point of view and has NO political or social agenda.

The rat bastards even stole their Hakenkreuz (albiet a reversed version) from Willhelm Deffke, a brilliant German designer with absolutely no Nazi affiliation.
Not only did Deffke never see a dime for it, he'd then be saddled with the task of trying to absolve himself of their crimes, all because one of them apparently got a hold of a self-published sample book he'd printed when he was young. Baseline magazine did a piece on him a few years ago (issue 49 if anyone's interested.)

#5- maybe they're hosting Passover dinner. There are quite a few Jews who collect Nazi memorabilia. Like it or not, there's a market for it, so people will sell it.

@4, I know. I really like the Gestapo dress uniforms...it just that it's a Nazi uniform that is so fucking disgusting.

someone has actually uploaded the entire book to the web- so you don't have to pay 700 bucks to see it.
