The same problem happens to Germans and Austrians who are not anymore
familiar with gothic writing, insofar Costopoulos is right.
The other point is that the present Neo-Nazi scene likes to publish texts
which had been so-called published in Hitler time; the best way to find out
whether it is a fake is to contact a *Widerstands-Dokumentationsarchiv* as
they have the best documentation on such printed stuff.
