One of the most important factors of a leader being successful at war is having strong support from their home front and Adolf Hitler used this to his advantage a multitude of times during his reign as chancellor of Germany through the use of propaganda. One example of this was on September 1st, 1939 when Adolf Hitler ordered a blitzkrieg attack at Germany’s eastern border, unto Poland. This act he knew, would trigger a declaration of war from England. On the same day as the attack “The New York Times” reported Hitler as to have said “Germans in Poland are persecuted with a bloody terror and are driven from their homes. The series of border violations, which are unbearable to a great power, prove that the Poles no longer are willing to respect the German frontier.” (Tolischus). …show more content…
Another way in which Hitler and the Nazi regime used propaganda to gain support of their home front and to also spread anti-Semitic values was by targeting the youth of Germany. The reason for the Nazi regime specifically targeting the youth is because they were seen as politically valuable and easy to persuade. Nazi propaganda specifically targeted the youth of Germany to secure future generations of Nazi loyalists and
Another big way the Nazis manipulated people was through the Nazi youth camps. The youth groups turned the Nazi ideas and ways into a fun summer camp-like idea for young children. Teens at these camps were told to reproduce and that it was okay to do so before marriage because they are “married to the Reich”. The groups of girls seemed to focus more on things such as gymnastics while the boys' camp became a sort of mini military. These camps would make the boys learn to idolize the war until they were chosen to help

They needed to acquire food and other supplies for the men that were fighting in the trench warfare and replace the jobs that they left. The federal government sought support on the home front by propaganda, enforcing new laws, and through speeches and events. Propaganda was one of the main ways to get a message across, and that was what the government liked; strong and convincing cartoons that encouraged people to provide aid on the home front and encouraging women to occupy the jobs that the soldiers left to help the economy
Propaganda’s were popular during 1941-1945 because it helped unified the public behind the effort of the war to make other people help.

The Nazi's used propaganda in way that maximised the manipulation of the German public.

However, it is usually defined as any type of material used in hopes of influencing a community’s thoughts and viewpoints towards one subject. Many different types of propaganda were used in World War I successfully since people only received the information that the government wanted them to know. It twisted the truth and allowed for governmental control of people’s thoughts and viewpoints towards the war.
The first way in which Hitler appealed to the Germans can be attributed to nationalism. Nationalism, excessive pride in one 's country, caused Hitler and the Nazi Party to seem attractive because it was almost second nature. Germans ' hearts burst with pride and "supreme love of their fatherland..." (doc 2). The people of Germany loved their country, and therefore, loved their leader. They were willing to drop everything and fight for Germany if their leader ordered them to.

“Hitler began his dominance with young people, recognizing them as ‘A powerful political force’ There was little resistance because ‘the overnight camping trips, campfires, and parades sounded like fun’“ (Bartelletti 79). The Hitler Youth also emphasized loyalty to the Third Reich over all (including family) (Bartelletti
Propaganda has been used in history and modern day to persuade or present information to people that might be true or false depending on the view of the person. The definition of propaganda is ideas, information, and other material made to win people over to a doctrine.

Propaganda did not just appear everywhere with no help; Joseph Goebbels was the minister of propaganda under Adolf Hitler.
Propaganda, terror and repression played a significant role in the Nazi regime. Hitler used each to supplement and complement each other with the main focus to make Hitler appear a strong, powerful and all-knowing man who was in favour of the Nazi vision of the ‘national community’. This all impacted the German people by preserving support for Nazism and ensuring that the community that didn 't agree with the Nazi regime would not be heard by any

The Nazis wanted to instill these values in the young so that eventually they could pass it on to future generations of Nazi Youth. The girls in particular were focused on by the Nazis because they Nazis saw the girls as the future family leader. If the Nazis could make future mothers understand the party’s social and internal values, then it would be significantly easier to influence the future youth. The youth wasn’t just influenced by propaganda posters and local announcements, but also the countries very own leader, Adolf Hitler.
