Goebbels’s Script
Goebbel’s script is one of the most difficult I have ever deciphered. Ordinarily German handwriting does not bother me in the least. When I first looked at the handwritten diaries of Joseph Goebbels cursorily I thought, “What regular, clear writing!” On closer inspection, however, the Goebbels calligraphy proved anything but easy to read.
