NSDAP announcement banning Gothic scripts

The memorandum from 1941 is itself typed in Antiqua, but the NSDAP letterhead is printed in Fraktur.

"For general attention, on behalf of the Führer, I make the following announcement:

It is wrong to regard or to describe the so-called Gothic script as a German script. In reality, the so-called Gothic script consists of Schwabach Jew letters. Just as they later took control of the newspapers, upon the introduction of printing the Jews residing in Germany took control of the printing presses and thus in Germany the Schwabach Jew letters were forcefully introduced.

Today the Führer, talking with Herr Reichsleiter Amann and Herr Book Publisher Adolf Müller, has decided that in the future the Antiqua script is to be described as normal script. All printed materials are to be gradually converted to this normal script. As soon as is feasible in terms of textbooks, only the normal script will be taught in village and state schools.

The use of the Schwabach Jew letters by officials will in future cease; appointment certifications for functionaries, street signs, and so forth will in future be produced only in normal script.

On behalf of the Führer, Herr Reichsleiter Amann will in future convert those newspapers and periodicals that already have foreign distribution, or whose foreign distribution is desired, to normal script".

[ID: two headshot portraits on a white background. The person on the top left is an east asian man with a round face, a small mustache, and strands of long black hair framing his face with the rest pulled back into a ponytail. The person on the bottom right is a south asian woman with a narrow face, high cheekbones, and dark hair in bangs. /end ID]

i did these without any underdrawing, hence why i called them "freehand". they're both my ocs.

Hi. I'm looking for someone willing to make an album cover for an album I'm currently recording. I will pay your going rate, of course. If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
