The Impact of Nazi Propaganda 1933-1945
Propaganda is the spread of information to manipulate or influence large numbers of
people. During the early 1930s, propaganda contributed significantly to merging powers under
the directives of the ruling party in totalitarian regimes such as Nazi Germany. Immediately after
seizing power, Hitler introduced the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda,
appointing Joseph Goebbels as its head. Virtually all German cultural aspects were controlled by
the Ministry, such as theater, movies, the press, music, and radio and television broadcasts.1
Using modern technologies and techniques and given heavy support from Hitler, Goebbels
immediately introduced an interesting topic to influence the conduct of the whole society and
indoctrinate the Germans in the Nazi perspective. Nazism rules, placing anti-Semitism at the
center of its dogma, were included in almost every gazette, movie, and radio broadcast cast in the
Third Reich. Such keenly-generated information was intended to mobilize Germans to support
all Nazi social efforts and military, such as the concentration of Jews in camps and deportation.
Inevitably, the use of propaganda by the National Socialist German Worker’s Party in joint
efforts with political powers and the military was intended to indoctrinate, subdue, and influence
the German masses and the European countryside, achieving a national identity founded upon
racism and hate.
The use of propaganda has been popular throughout, prevailing during both times of war
and peace and continuously situating at the cutting edge of society, heritage, and, predominantly,
politics. The introduction of Nazi propaganda prior to and during the Second World War
portrays a fascinating ideology of racism and hatred.2 Between 1901 and 1945, Nazi propaganda
