propaganda

Cards (6)

    • The Minister of Propaganda was Joseph Goebbels.
    • Goebbels used different methods to win support.
    • School lessons, radio messages and posters were used.
    • Mass rallies (such as Nuremberg) helped win public backing too.
    • The Nazis also used cinemas.
    • Many films had an anti-Jewish message, e.g. the Eternal Jew.
    • Other films showed Nazi propaganda adverts before they started.
  • ANALYSIS (FOR)
    • Constant pro-Hitler/German or anti-Jewish messages were impossible to ignore.
    • Cheap radios meant ownership increased to 70% of all households, increasing the numbers exposed to the message.
  • ANALYSIS (AGAINST)
    • Some Germans disagreed with the Nazis and so simply ignored the propaganda.
    • It was suggested that some Germans deliberately arrived late to the cinema to avoid Nazi adverts.
  • EVALUATION (AGAINST)
    Fear - even if they did not agree with the propaganda, many were too scared to openly discuss this.
