How Did Hitler Use Propaganda

Germany in the 1930s was a toxic combination of racism and nationalism. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi party gained the support of numerous Germans, rapidly becoming a dominating far-right political party. Claiming the title of “Führer” or “Leader” Hitler acknowledged the necessity of indoctrinating the young minds of Germany using propaganda. Propaganda is a media tool to promote a particular political cause or point of view with a biased or misleading nature. Hitler’s propaganda emphasized racial superiority, anti-Semitism, and Germany’s central role in the world. Using targeted media, Hitler hoped to ensure the continuation of his radical teachings into future generations by thoroughly conditioning

While he dictated, the culture of Germany was changed. Hitler wanted to make the population all think and be one certain way. To make this happen he made, “ Musical performances, movies, and other cultural public activities...all meant to make German’s brains exactly like the Nazi, eliminating any other thought of anti-government”(1). By controlling what people watched and read, Hitler brainwashed Germans to think positively of him and the Nazi’s. The population was not able to freely read or watch any sort of literature or other arts. Hitler also changed the religious culture in many parts of Europe. One of Hitler’s main goals while in office was to eliminate the jewish and any other non-aryan people. In the process, Hitler made The Nuremberg Laws. Adolf Hitler, “implemented these laws to ostracize, discriminate and expel Jews from German society” (3) Diverse culture was rejected. Physically, the people of Germany, mostly jews, were affected because of Hitler trying to make the population one master race. He believed aryans were this “master race” as he believed the grew to have good health strength and overall, good characteristics unlike Jews

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. In addition to this, years before the war occurred, Hitler 's name and the Nazi swastika were inevitable throughout German towns (doc 7). This endowed the strong sense of nationalism within Germans. Their minds were trained to love Hitler and the Nazi Party due to their constant exposure to his name and symbol. Also years before World War II, a German newspaper accounted the Nazi Party Nuremberg Convention in 1936. According to this article, marches and ceremonies like this occurred frequently, which shows how loyal and passionate Germans were towards their homeland (doc 8). When Hitler entered the stage, he would receive an "applause...that lasts for minutes" (doc 8). These ceremonies heightened Germans ' sense of nationalism, and the fact they were celebrating a Nazi related convention shows their loyalty towards this party. However, this document could be slightly biased because it is from a newspaper article. Newspapers are notorious for stretching the truth and using an abundance of euphemisms, therefore, the Germans ' love for their leader may not be as genuine at

Adolf Hitler was a German politician who was the leader of the Nazi party, rose to power for many reasons. The economical, social, and political standpoints in Germany at the time were a disaster. He promised German people he would bring back the pride in their the country. After World War I the economic situation was abhorrent. The war damaged the economy, and had gone into hyperinflation, which wiped out citizens savings quickly. The long term hatred and deep anger about World War I and the Treaty of Versailles created an underlying bitterness, which made him get more supporters. Another main factor was his influential way of speaking. One way Germany got popular with the crowd was because of Hitler’s speaking ability and most importantly,

From here Hitler slowly expanded his power in the government while his supporters formed paramilitary groups like the Schutzstaffel who fought protesters in the streets and helped raise hatred toward Communism and only Hitler could save the country. In 1933 a worker set fire to the parliament building and hitler convinced them to grant him emergency powers. Within a matter of months the freedom of the press was abolished. Hitler's close associates like Joseph Goebbels were in charge of propaganda which was used to paint Hitler as a great Samaritan who was helping Germany back on its feet. Which Hitler did do, lowering the unemployment from nearly 6 million to 1 million. However this did raise the standard of living considering that they were all still being payed the same amount of marks. Most of these jobs came from the rapid militarization of Nazi Germany.Hitler held an omnipotent power during this time as expressed himself as the true embodiment of expression of the German people. He took away civil liberties and on the evening of May 10, 1933, some 70,000 people gathered at the Opernplatz in Berlin. Students carted over 20,000 books to the public square, including works by famous German authors like Heinrich Mann, Erich Maria Remarque and Joachim Ringelnatz to be burned in a cultural incineration. Hitler began to erase the history of a failed Germany and instilled a new one, one where Germany could've won the Great War and began to teach a racial science where the Aryans were the master race. Even going as far as insinuating Jesus as an Aryan man and not of Jewish descent, he repressed religion such as the Catholic Church and the Lutheran Church. In public schools religious instruction held back and omitted the Jewish origin

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

By getting the youth of Germany to believe in Hitler's ideas the propagandists produced a new generation of people with the ideas and beliefs of Hitler implemented into their heads, making them easier to control. Of course there was also many German citizens in Germany, so in order for the propagandists to get their ideas across they would need to make sure their ideas were able to get to each and every citizen. This meant the propagandist had to use every form of Propaganda to control people. They used posters, songs, Radio, Films, Newspapers, and books. These forms of Propaganda worked exceptionally well due to people being constantly exposed to these forms of propaganda anywhere they went, making it very easy to brainwash the german citizens with their ideas. Another way Propagandist were responsible for the most direct action of the Holocaust was because they used many different tactics of propaganda to spread the nazi ideas. These some of these tactics were fear, nationalism and name calling. By doing rallies for Hitler when a large amount of people gathered to hear how he was going to make Germany “great” it showed nationalism with the people cheering and

The aim of propaganda was to achieve total conformity of one idea. Propaganda has been around different kinds of medias such as newspapers, books, news, radio, TV, advertisement and other. Simple language was used for everyone to be able to understand –“language of crowds" It doesn’t even have to be noticeable, nonetheless still has a great effect on our minds. If done professionally propaganda can drastically change the views of individuals upon a topic. Adolf Hitler is most known for succeeding in “ convincing his country of the National Socialism ideals”. It played a large role in turning German people even more anti-Semitic. “The Jews’ economic progress, cultural achievements, and social ascendancy added a new dimension to their neighbors’ antipathy. In 19th century the Jewish community in Europe was to some extent accepted and respected. In 1866 even “German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck participated in the dedication of a synagogue in Berlin” in order to show appreciation to the Jewish society. How did the way Germans view Jews change into such radical hatred so fast? Hitler’s opinion on propaganda is described in his book Mein Kampf “Its task is not to make an objective study of the truth, in so far as it favors the enemy, and then set it before the masses with academic fairness; its task is to serve our own right, always and unflinchingly”. Goebbels was appointed to be the head of propaganda.

Hitler involved himself in The First World War and was very passionate about his Love for Germany and its purity. Hitler did not want to see Germany lose. Then because of this, after The First World War Hitler had become outraged by Germany surrendering and he desperately wanted a different ending. Therefore, Hitler was the leading cause in the making of The Second World War. The three most important aspects that helped Hitler win over the German people and start The Second World War was The Treaty of Versailles, the economic struggle of Germany, and his own family struggles.

Past leaders such as Andrew Jackson, Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini, and Marc Antony are evidence that society does not reward morality and good character in leadership. Society is drawn to leaders that have good rhetoric, propaganda, and charismatic personalities, and society supports them despite their immorality. Society is concerned about stability more than the morality of their leaders and will support immoral leaders in times of crisis to provide stability.

According to the BBC’s website Bitesize, “Josef Goebbels controlled the propaganda ministry, which aimed to brainwash people into obeying the Nazis and idolising Hitler” (BBC’s Bitesize).

One of the biggest hate crimes that happened in the world was the Holocaust killing 11 million people. A hate crime is a crime towards a specific group of people usually because of their sexual orientation, religion, ethnic origin, and race are some reasons people commit hate crime. Adolf Hitler was the mastermind behind the holocaust convincing people that the German race was the superior race. Hitler told people that all there problems came from the Jewish, Gays, and Gypsies. Hitler’s speeches convinced people that they were the main cause of all the problems happening in their country. He then convinced everyone through powerful speeches that only Germans should be alive because they were the “perfect race” according

Censorship is the suppression of words, ideas, and images that are considered offensive. The government, and media used censorship in radio, and film. The government showed no discrimination in what they censored. “No specific information was censored because neither baseball game announcements nor letters to Santa escaped scrutiny during America’s involvement in the war” ( Sweeny) There were very few cases in which information was not censored. “With only a few exceptions, the lids were kept on such sensitive stories such as the development of the atomic bomb.” (Sweeny) Since the public was either misinformed, or uninformed the public opinion of the war was very positive, with very little resistance. The resistance that did exist came from the older citizens. However out on foreign lands the youth were growing up in Hitler’s shadow. This caused even less resistance. “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

The extent that economic hardship contributed to the rise to power of Hitler should not be underestimated. However, Adolf Hitler’s rise to power was based upon various factors that certainly included the backdrop of economic hardship. The complex relationship between these factors is as important to analyse as the elements of economic hardship. The energy and organisation of Hitler and the Nazis is just as important as the effect of the Treaty of Versailles, the weaknesses of the Weimar Republic (in which Hitler exploited at every turn) and finally, Hitler’s greatest opportunity, the Great Depression.

After Hitler took a power in Germany, he managed to consolidate his power using his economy policy, gathered destitute Germans together, but also using the propaganda, increasing the support towards him. This increasing mass of supports towards him due to his policy that had increased the employment in a tremendous amount and the use of propaganda that had spread his belief and convinced Germans. However, despite these successful economic policy, the fund raised was purely concentrated on rearmament and still the autarky was not achieved, and his economy policy was just for the violation of Treaty of Versailles. Still, Hitler’s decisions in
