Alas, yes. (Though compare the Anarchistische Pogo Partei Deutschlands.)

Of course, these wannabe guys use the proper fraktur. They usually use the wrong s and don't care about proper ligatures.

The APPD is using Fraktur in the punk rock tradition, which I think is from the UK, where using an "enemy" font had shock value.

Is this why some heavy metal groups use umlauts all over?
