Steve Heller, on the Design Observer Group website, finds the graphic design manual for the Nazi party.
From the piece...
Published in 1936, The Organizationsbuch der NSDAP (with subsequent annual editions), detailed all aspects of party bureaucracy, typeset tightly in German Blackletter. What interested me, however, were the over 70 full-page, full-color plates (on heavy paper) that provide examples of virtually every Nazi flag, insignia, patterns for official Nazi Party office signs, special armbands for the Reichsparteitag (Reichs Party Day), and Honor Badges. The book “over-explains the obvious” and leaves no Nazi Party organization question, regardless of how minute, unanswered.

The only reason this is news right now is because Heller is selling 2 copies of the book for $700 each, and is putting out his own book (about those books) later this year.
You're Heller's stooge.
