    The word propaganda is often used in a negative sense, especially for politicians who make false claims to get elected or spread rumors to get their way. In fact, any campaign that is used to persuade can be called propaganda. War is a state of armed conflict between societies. It is generally characterized as extreme aggression, destruction, and usually high mortality. Adolf Hitler combined these two terms into one, and strategically did so in the psychological warfare of World War II. Hitler used propaganda in a handful of ways, and made a war weapon of it. He intended to dehumanize, maneuver, and to decept the nation in insidious ways, and propaganda was a main contributor. Influences worldwide were…

    The Holocaust is perhaps one of the most gruesome events that has ever taken place. Adolf Hitler was the mastermind behind the systematic, bureaucratic, and barbaric persecution that murdered six million Jews for no reason. When he became leader he had only one mission and that was to have an exceptional race and he would do everything to achieve it. The Nazis who came into power in Germany in January 1933, believed that Germans were racially superior and that the Jews were inferior and posed as a threat to the German community. Adolf and his “loyal” followers managed to instill fear in many Jews causing many to flee to safer havens. Other that weren’t as lucky fell into the hands of that Nazi regime. Those Jews that were persecuted and captured…

    Literature can be an extremely powerful tool of persuasion. One man with one idea has the potential to influence hundreds, thousands, or even millions of people through writing. In fact, one particularly influential piece of literature convinced an entire population of people to ostracize, shun, and even murder their fellow citizens. Compelling texts such as Hitler’s Mein kampf allow me to believe that literature could be considered propaganda. These pieces of literature, when written to pacify a specific audience, can strongly appeal to humanity’s “passions”, as Plato suggests. I believe that authors use literature as a vehicle to demonstrate their personal beliefs and influence their audience to share those beliefs.…

    Propaganda is often seen as negative, because of its use of exaggerated statistics or false statements to manipulate whomever is looking at that poster or advertisement to believe that it’s true. For example, the propaganda in Nazi Germany, they would control what the German citizens could see, read, and hear. Dr. Joseph Goebbels, was put in charge by Hitler, in order to control the propaganda that the public population had access to. Therefore, it was his job to make sure that the German citizens were only allowed contact to what made the Nazi campaign seem like the best and only opinions they had. Goebbels said “The essence of propaganda consists in winning people over to an idea so sincerely, so vitally, that in the end they succumb to…

    Hitler’s appointment as Chancellor in 1933 brought about the beginning of the end to a brief democratic government in Germany. He worked hard to return to the old Totalitarian rule with himself as dictator, and also for ‘Machtergreifung’ – the seizure of power. Hitler had no intention of sharing power and his aim was to achieve complete control over Germany and to build a German Empire through the Nazi Party. His personality and manifesto were extremely convincing to people of all age groups and people believed Hitler had the power to restore Germany to past greatness. Promises such as the decrease in unemployment levels were also coming true and his totalitarian rule had suppressed all other opposition. Dr.Goebels also played a large part in covering up the horrific truth behind Hitler’s ideology. The propaganda convinced the German people that the violence used, such as the action of the SS, was beneficial to the maintenance of the state. The Nazi’s also began to victimize certain stereotypes so that they would gain more support and shift the blame for any problems onto groups such as the Jews. This also inevitably installed a fear in most Germans.…

    Although the Nazi regime was not popular with everyone, especially not persecuted minority groups, many people did support the Nazi regime – without the support of Germans the Nazi regime may never have come to power in first place. The Nazis were popular with many German people as they reaped the benefits of the Nazi policies, while other people, for example people who weren’t part of the superior ‘Aryan’ race, paid the price. This caused a large degree of separation between the two groups, as one was benefitting while the other was suffering.…

His definition of peaceful nation was found in having a fascist state. He said, “The Fascist State, the highest and most powerful form of personality, is a force, but a spiritual force, which takes over all the forms of the moral and intellectual life of man.” (Mussolini; 3) He believed that Fascism needed men who would participate with all their potential. He also believed that Fascism was born in the need of action, it is considered as a development of humanity by not suppressing them, but multiplying, and the Fascist state will not have theology, but…

    People are creatures of habit, following the movements that are most popular, going in the direction where success seems most likely. The human race tends to try and be indistinguishable between each other, blending in so that no attention will be drawn towards them. Adolf Hitler in his above quote said “ All great movements are popular movements.” He is clearly trying to sate that he believes because his own movement to kill thousands of people is a great movement- so it must be popular. Hitler forced his views on others making his movement popular; though some in secret dared to go against him. Speaking hatred and lies was Hitler's forte. It was not the “ ruthless Goddess of distress,” it was Hitler the spawn of the devil who was carrying…
