Support for blackletter was the default position of pre-WWII German nationalists. Hitler banned it during the war because, of all things, blackletter would have required two typesets for multi-lingual publications in occupied territories, and because it would have been hard for occupied populations to read (German was to become the new lingua franca, after all).
