I am doing this from memory ... there was a book written in Germany in the '30s (I am trying to remember the author), filled with semicolons as a protest to the Nazis. I looked for this online, and I can't find a reference.

It probably was not an outright ban on the semicolon; the Nazis definitely recommended writing without using it! I will try to find a reference.
