Good move on part of the USG. It will keep public discussion to a minimum.

An acquaintance of mine moved here from Germany after the war.
She says that, from her family's perspective, the first clear sign
that things were seriously going to hell was that Hitler and his
friends started issuing proclamations, effective almost immediately,
dictating something else you could or could not do.  Later, the
proclamations were made during the night and were effective instantly.

fwiw.
