  • You could only read, see and hear what the Nazis wanted you to read, see and hear. In this way, if you believed what you were told, the Nazi leaders logically assumed that opposition to their rule would be very small and practiced only by those on the very extreme who would be easy to catch.
  • As Minister of Enlightenment, Goebbels  had two main tasks: to ensure nobody in Germany could read or see anything that was hostile or damaging to the Nazi Party. to ensure that the views of the Nazis were put across in the most persuasive manner possible.
  • Propaganda within Nazi Germany was taken to a new and frequently perverse level. Hitler was very aware of the value of good propaganda and he appointed Joseph Goebbels as head of propaganda

  • Propaganda is the art of persuasion - persuading others that your 'side of the story' is correct.
  • Books that did not match the Nazi ideal was burnt in public - loyal Nazis ransacked libraries to remove the 'offending' books
  • Films released to the public concentrated on certain issues : the Jews; the greatness of Hitler; the way of life for a true Nazi especially children, and as World War Two approached, how badly Germans who lived in countries in Eastern Europe were treated.
  • "Propaganda is not an end in itself, but a means to an end. If the means achieves the end then the means is good.........the new Ministry has no other aim than to unite the nation behind the ideal of the national revolution."  Goebbels
  • "The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to it utterly and can never escape from it." Goebbels

  • It involves only presenting information that is positive to an idea or proposal and omitting information contrary to it.
  • Glittering generalities are words that have different positive meaning for individual subjects, but are linked to highly valued concepts.
  • Words often used as glittering generalities are honor, glory, love of country, and especially in the United States, freedom.
  • The "lesser of two evils" technique tries to convince us of an idea or proposal by presenting it as the least offensive option.
  • It is the use of derogatory language or words that carry a negative connotation when describing an enemy. The propaganda attempts to arouse prejudice among the public by labeling the target something that the public dislikes.
  • This is an attempt to simplify a complex situation by presenting one specific group or person as the enemy.
  • The plain folks device is an attempt by the propagandist to convince the public that his views reflect those of the common person and that they are also working for the benefit of the common person.
  • Simplification is extremely similar to pinpointing the enemy, in that it often reduces a complex situation to a clear-cut choice involving good and evil.
  • Testimonials are quotations or endorsements, in or out of context, which attempt to connect a famous or respectable person with a product or item.
  • Transfer is often used in politics and during wartime. It is an attempt to make the subject view a certain item in the same way as they view another item, to link the two in the subjects mind.

  • Extensive propaganda was used to spread the regime's goals and ideals. Upon the death of German president Paul von Hindenburg in August 1934, Hitler assumed the powers of the presidency. The army swore an oath of personal loyalty to him. Hitler's dictatorship rested on his position as Reich President (head of state), Reich Chancellor (head of government), and Fuehrer (head of the Nazi party). According to the "Fuehrer principle," Hitler stood outside the legal state and determined matters of policy himself.
