Yikes. I always knew there were sketchy ties between the Stempel type foundry and the Nazis, but I never realized it was such an explicit, marketed connection until I saw this page from a type specimen booklet for Tannenberg (c.1935) where they promote the larger wood type sizes by showing a poster for a speech by Joesph Goebbels and torch-light procession of Nazi stormtroopers. The photo of the poster is also credited to Hitler’s official photographer, Heinrich Hoffmann.
