The propaganda’s intentions in World War II can be broken down into three major categories: war efforts, Anti-German and Anti-Japanese backing, and homefront endeavors. Similarly, propaganda came in many forms, as the TV was starting to make itself known in the 1930s. These numerous forms include political cartoons, posters, novels, comic books, movies, and cartoons. Furthermore, propaganda could be very specific

Joseph Goebbels, born October 29th of 1897 in Rheydt, Germany to Fritz Goebbels and Katharina Odenhausen. Joseph Goebbels was a man of evil who had worked as minister of propaganda for the German Third Reich under Adolf Hitler himself. He had used this position to further spread the Nazi message. While the world was experiencing one of the most devastating wars in human history, Germany had produced a very formidable display of political propaganda such as campaigns that began in Germany but eventually made way to affect other countries that were involved in the war. Because of the success of these campaigns, they even had an unsound effect on the United States, a whole ocean away.
What is propaganda? Well, the definition of propaganda has been debated, for there are many different viewpoints on it. 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. Usually, people supported the war because propaganda allowed them to believe that war was worth fighting for. Some examples include: convincing people to go to war, unification of the nation, conserving food, buying bonds, and more.
What makes one useful as a tool for the manipulation of billions worldwide? The answers to these questions lie in what propaganda really is. Propaganda is information used in a biased or misinformative nature that is used to promote a specific political institution or cause, and is focused on making the actions of one nation seem correct and moral, while the actions of the opposing nation(s) are viewed as savage and immoral. Censorship, or the restriction of information, is just as important as propaganda, which is the distribution of information, and both contribute toward the development of the national opinion that is to be shaped.

Could you imagine being one of the many victims that were beaten, starved, and tortured to death in a concentration camp? The Holocaust was a genocide that took place in Germany, lasting 4 years. The leader was Adolf Hitler, who believed there was a ‘Jewish Problem’. This genocide took place from 1941-1945, in concentration camps surrounding Poland. The Nazi Party was founded in 1919 and shortly after, Hitler became the leader in 1921. Adolf Hitler’s goal was to purify the German race.

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

In the early 1900’s European countries began competing and with that they were also building strong army’s and navy’s. After a while, the United States got involved and were in need of the people’s support.

Since men were being drafted out to fight, women took over their jobs. The labor force shifted from
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.
Adolf Hitler used propaganda very often to persuade the citizens to follow him and his Nazi army.
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.
