@ErikUden @rm4 the national library already exists. It's called Nationalbibliothek. Every German-language book etc. published in Germany must be made physically available to the national libraries in Leipzig and Frankfurt.

@ErikUden @rm4 to be more precise
"Its task is to collect, permanently archive, comprehensively document and record bibliographically all German and German-language publications since 1913, foreign publications about Germany, translations of German works, and the works of German-speaking emigrants published abroad between 1933 and 1945, and to make them available to the public"

Same in the UK. Every book must be made available to the British Lirbrary, the National Libraries of Scotland and Wales, and the libraries of the Universities of Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin.

Fascists could target those libraries, though the fact that one of them is outside the UK does help.
