Recommended: Propaganda in Germany during WW 2

Adolf hitler, leader of the Nazi party, once said “make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they[people] will believe it”. This quote is proof that even Hitler knew that his propaganda was filled with lies. Nazi propaganda was a big contributor to the death of 6 million Jews and convinced German citizens that Jews were evil.
To begin with, Nazi Propaganda was very manipulative to the average German Citizens mind. This manipulating element in the propaganda caused the Nazi army to grow in size and power. Let's pretend there is a boy named Hans. Hans is a little German boy who is in second grade. Hans is only allowed to watch certain programs, listen to certain radio stations, and know certain information. This is a form of brainwashing,caused by propaganda, which the germans used on all german children. Later in life Hans and most classmates will most likely join the nazi army and join the war to “cleanse the world.” In 1919 the Nazi party only had three-thousand followers.

One piece of Nazi propaganda that really caught my attention was one that said “Who is to blame for the war? The Jew.” There is no evidence behind this statement and this could not be farther from the truth. In case all the posters, movies, and radio stations weren't enough to have all of Europe anti-Jew, germany opened up a jewish exhibition. This exhibition was all about having hatred for the Jews. The Jewish Exhibition attracted an average of five thousand people a day and had a total of four hundred twelve thousand visitors. That is a very large number of citizens who probably felt different about the Jews than they did before going to the exhibition. Jew exhibitions were undoubtedly another factor to the growth of the nazi army and possibly the worst form of propaganda there

  • Use of Propaganda to Spread Anti-Semitism in Nazi Germany During the 1930’s and 1940’s

    “All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach,” Adolf Hitler (The National World War Museum). The German Nazi dictator utilized his power over the people using propaganda, eventually creating a sense of hatred towards Jews. After World War 1, the punishments of the League of Nations caused Germany to suffer. The Nazi party came to blame the Jews in order to have a nation-wide “scapegoat”. This hatred and prejudice towards Jews is known as anti-semitism. According to the Breman Museum, “the Nazi Party was one of the first political movements to take full advantage of mass communications technologies: radio, recorded sound, film, and the printed word” (The Breman Museum). By publishing books, releasing movies and holding campaigns against Jews, antisemitism came to grow quickly, spreading all across Germany. The Nazi Party often referred to the notion of a “People’s Community” where all of Germany was “racially pure” (Issuu). They would show images of ‘pure’, blond workers, labouring to build a new society. This appealed greatly to people who were demoralized during Germany’s defeat in World War 1 and the economic depression of the 1920’s and 1930’s. Hitler, along with Joseph Goebbels, used developed propaganda methods in order to suppress the Jews and spread anti semitism.

    According to Welch, “The public’s reaction to anti-Semitic films reveals that propaganda had considerable success in persuading the population that a Jewish ‘problem’ existed, but equally that there was a limit to their tolerance of the type of virulently anti-Semitic propaganda to be found in films like Der Ewige Jude and publications like Der Stuermer.” Even after years of Nazi propaganda, even Goebbels wasn’t convinced that “such propaganda had persuaded Germans to condone open violence against

    “By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise,” Adolf Hitler once declared. In the lexicon, propaganda means “information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement...” (Dictionary.com). During World War 2, most of the countries exhibited some form of it because as Hitler explained, it could easily influence people, and they used it as a weapon of war.

  • Propaganda In In The Garden Of Beasts

    To persuade one is a challenge in itself, but to sway the minds of everyone is something unfathomable. The infection of ideals was one of many tools used during World War II. The methods differ for propaganda but they share the same purpose, to saturate your view with anomalous thoughts. By reading In the Garden of Beasts, we can deduce that propaganda played a huge role during World War II. It prolonged the United States intervention of the war and allowed Hitler to prolong his exposure of his master plan, genocide of millions. “The art of propaganda consists precisely in being able to awaken the imagination of the public through an appeal to their feelings, in finding the appropriate psychological form that will arrest the attention and appeal to the hearts of the national masses.” (Hitler, p. Chapter 5). Propaganda does more than just affect the minds of its own people; it alters the perception of the world.

Using this method, they were able to gain 6,400,000 votes, which was a large majority of voters. The Nazi Party’s rise to power occurred because citizens were subjected to nationalism by the Nazis, which stemmed from a shared anger at the results of World War I and the Treaty of Versailles. The Nazi Party created scapegoats through eugenics and propaganda to increase their power further by not accepting the blame for any of their mistakes.
