The Role Of Propaganda In Nazi Germany

His speeches gained him and his party more and more followers. Nazi propaganda was very effective because it made Germans out to be the higher race and made Hitler out to be their Savior. To help Hitler reach his goal, Joseph Goebbels was appointed to Minister of Propaganda and National Enlightenment. It was his job to make sure that everything anyone heard about the Nazi’s was positive and mannerly. You could not see, hear, or say anything that would harm the Nazi party.

Propaganda made sure to make Jews look like the villain in the German people eyes. Hitler and his army were able to brainwash his whole nation into accepting the idea of committing mass genocide. To captivate German and get his message out, Hitler started a new idea: German Youth. According to the article “The Structures

A potent symbol intended to elicit pride among Aryans, the swastika also struck terror into Jews and others deemed enemies of Nazi

The aim of the documentary is to display Adolf Hitler as the savior of Germany and show the way Germans loved him and to encourage more people to support him. Riefenstahl successfully achieved her aim by focusing on key words from speeches given by Hitler and his party, and through her use of music and camera angles. First and foremost, Riefenstahl showed carefully chosen sections from various speeches given by the party and Hitler. The documentary tries to affect people's thinking into believing that Hitler and the Nazi Party were the right choice for Germany. The choice of words used by Hitler and other party members makes it easier for manipulating people into believing that they are the best and right choice for Germany.

Hitler led a regime of German people to conform against other people with different religions, ethnicities, and sexualities. Hitler was an idol for Germany and Jewish people were the scapegoats for Germany’s problems. Hitler convinced and manipulated millions of people to fight for his agenda. Hitler directed the minds of his followers to support a cause that killed millions of people which is now known as the Holocaust. Hitler was able to execute his plans for the Holocaust because of the aid from others which was demonstrated by Nazi leaders, the German military, and the Axis powers.

One view is that the Holocaust couldn’t have been carried out without the support from ordinary German people. Therefore, a crucial area that the Nazi’s concentrated on was propaganda. The minister for propaganda was Josef Goebbels from 1933 to 1945 after his popularity rose within the public. Goebbels main task was to convince the German public that the Aryan race was the most superior race. The Jewish people suffered and were on the receiving end of racism due to the Nazi’s: "As anti-Semitism grew within the population, the things done to the Jews by Hitler and his army began to be widely seen as acceptable.

The Treaty of Versailles is one of the main reasons Hitler rose to power. It saw Germany face territorial losses, reparations of the damaged, which were caused by the war, and is known to be the blame for starting World War I. It provided a rich material for Hitler to use to gain support of the people.

And how do they differ? The eassay below inquired into this thesis and helped unearth the conditions that provided fertile soil and generated momentum for these atrocities. XXXX -the Events’ Backgrounds A primary difference between the extreme brutalities was that the Holocaust took place after entering to WWII and the Cultural Revolution after what occurred to be internal crises. The Nazi Germany had been preparing itself for all-out aggression against Europe, from Hitler’s Mein Kampf to his declaration as the Fuhrer, and from reoccupation of the Rhineland to expansions into the Austria and entire Czechoslovakia.

The power of running a country can be either put into a good persons hands or in a bad persons hands. One good example of power being put into the wrong hands comes from The Book Thief. This novel takes place during the Nazi uprum, when hitler overpowered Germany and attempted to put the Jewish race to an end and rule the world leading to overpowerment of a government, the Nazis. “The world talked it over. Newspaper headlines reveled in it.

Words in The Book Thief demonstrates that words and language have immense power. Words can be used in a negative or positive ways. Hitler used words to spread propaganda in a fallacious way which led to deleterious human beings. The people (Germans) that lived during the war were credulous about what Hitler said therefore their life turned out to be debacle. Hitler used words to deceive and outsmart the others, he implanted words and images into the Jews heads to think a certain way(Zusak, Markus Frank.

The propagandist would not have to fight because the people that they have manipulated into believing in their ideas would fight for them. When the Nazis used propaganda to manipulate the German citizens, to believe that the Jews were the economic problem of Germany, this made the Germans fear and hate them. In 1929 Hitler chose Josef Goebbels to be his Minister

The Party also used propaganda in order to convince the masses that Oceania was living in economic prosperity, the country was doing better than the past years.

In a similar manner, the Nazis used propaganda to increase their support and appeal. They

With his leadership powers “weakened” it is believed that “those who were responsible for the Holocaust’s initiation (namely other high-ranking officials within the Nazi Party) acted independently of Hitler” (Draper, 1999, p.14). This also brings into light the term ‘Cumulative radicalization’. Using cumulative radicalization is an easy way of explaining how over time, the Nazis persuaded many of the German people to take ever more extreme positions against Jews, and other persecuted groups, until the Holocaust became possible. It is also stated in the article ‘Law, justice, and Holocaust”, “less known are the contributions of “ordinary” people—doctors, lawyers, teachers, civil servants, officers, and other professionals throughout German society—whose individual actions, when taken together, resulted in dire consequences. Put simply, the Holocaust could not have happened without them”.

It enabled the Nazis to speak to the various German peoples, through exploiting every means possible and accessible. Despite this, propaganda alone would not have allowed the Nazis to retain as much support as they did, as other factors, such as the policies that the regime implemented, swayed public opinion.
