The history of the USA harbors an interesting specimen of sharp-s,
its origin and meaning, as I learned just now.
It is not from a text written in German, though; rather, it is heading,
TA DA, the Bill of Rights:

Just in case you wonder what sharp-s is in German, a few decades ago
German writers would have written Kongre� where they now write Kongress.
look at Congress in the text above to see why. ;-)

The following small article, from a 1949 German news paper,
features president Truman, nuclear Bombs, and said word on line 15:
