The Failure Of Propaganda During World War II
During World War II, German military forces rushed across Europe at an alarming rate. They were determined to gain complete global control and to extend their racist, and supremacist ideals to the entire world which they believed was inherently theirs’. They were cruel in their methods of accomplishing that goal. Though they did not succeed, their tyranny left a stain on the world. Their means for world domination were, racist propaganda, modern weapons, and the world’s largest military force. Before their failure, the Nazis were just steps away from complete global control as a result of these things.

For example, according to the website, Three Centuries of American Wars, the Germans used two different types of pistols. They used a .38 caliber Walther, and a Luger Model, which were used for swiftly, eliminating the opposing side. The Germans also used rifles, such as the Karabiner 98K, and a Mauser cartridge 7.92x57mm. There were different types of submachine guns, and grenades to bomb enemies. The Germans introduced the flamethrower in WWI, they also reused their invention during WWII. Other countries used the flamethrower as well. Another weapon that was commonly used by the Wehrmacht, were machine guns. They used, “The German MG34 which weighed 26 lbs. The heavy air cooled gun was used extensively. It fired 7.92mm at a rate of 800-900 rounds per minute.”, which shows that they were heavily prepared. The Germans also used artillery that crushed infantry units, sink enemy ships, and shot down airplanes, (which were tanks and large turrets). The Nazis had a secret research facility where they built and made a V1, known as a, “flying bomb”, which caused the facility to be discovered. An antitank weapon, the German 88mm, was deadly on land, and a threat to pilots, and in the battlefield. Land mines were also a common defensive installation used in that time period, to surprise the enemies. All in all, the weapons used, were deadly and completely outmatched the weapons of the Allies
