Understanding what is propaganda and how it works will have an impact to understanding how the Nazis were capable to influence their citizens and soldiers. In the website called Propaganda, it states “Propaganda is a message which attempts to alter public perceptions and/or induce action” (Propaganda). It also states that, “Propaganda can appear in any form or medium and may or not be obvious as propaganda” (Propaganda). Propaganda also comes in several properties; in the Nazi’s scenario they appealed to emotions, and constantly repeated the propaganda, directs the “villain” to attack (Propaganda). The website also points out that propaganda does not have to be true, as long as it is believed and is effective (Propaganda).

An important part of any war that has nothing to do with battle is the people’s support. If the citizens do not want to win the war, the country will not win the war. So, to gain followers of their cause, the government will use propaganda and other methods of psychological manipulation. Propaganda was especially used by all countries involved in World War Two. A great many different kinds of propaganda were used, but arguably the most effective was film. Not only did the use of film help the war effort, but it also helped the film industry, especially animation, gain a leg up in society. War is a time for technological and societal advancement, and film is no exception.…
Women were also largely part of the war effort, although they were not allowed to enlist as soldiers, they helped by enlisting as nurses, treating those wounded from battle, or by working the jobs men did before the war, supplying ammunition to be used. Propaganda was also used to persuade women into sending their sons or husbands to enlist in the army. The government persuaded women to take jobs in factories, creating ammunition and weapons, by saying they should ‘do their part’ while men were fighting in trenches. Propaganda aimed at recruits for nurses targeted maternal instincts and religious beliefs, for instance in the red cross ‘help’ poster. The woman in the poster has her arms outstretched, standing in front of a cross, resembling…
In this particular presidential campaign poster in 1916, the type of propaganda is glittering generalization. It is using language associated with values and beliefs deeply held by the audience without providing supporting information or reason. I do not agree with the message because, even though President Wilson tried to keep the United States neutral during WWI, however he ultimately called on congress to declare war on Germany in 1917. It is not effective because, one year later after it was made a war was declared.…

Propaganda was an important tool which was used during World was 11. The purpose it played was to change the way people viewed what was happening during the war. Persuasion was used in the form of posters, art, and television in order to change people’s perspectives. Just like anything else in life, there were pros and cons to the formats utilized to do this. One of the pros, which was of the utmost importance, was to boost morale. This would have been effective during this time because of all the fighting and other atrocities that came along with war. A con to this propaganda would have been that it caused people to make invalid assumptions on other races, genders, and cultures.…
President William McKinley once said, “Our differences are policies; our agreements, principles.” These noticeable differences clearly stand out in World War One propaganda. Subtle differences included color variation, differing fonts, and poster size; glaring differences included languages, graphics, and text used in the propaganda (Kaminski). Each country’s propaganda sparked hopes to win the Great War. Persuasive appeals, graphics, and audience-specific propaganda worked synergistically to alter people’s mindset about an aspect of the war. The Allied and Central powers had different propaganda, but one common goal. While comparing German and British propaganda, the many differences and similarities become evident.…

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 was a very brutal event that took place in Europe in the 20th Century. It was genocide; Adolf Hitler and the Nazis murdered about 6 million Jews. This began after Hitler was announced Chancellor of Germany on January 30, 1933. The Holocaust did not affect just Germany, but the whole world.

To get more people to join them, they created propaganda that made it seem like the Jews were bad people. The main way used to kill Jews was sending them to concentration camps. The camps were very terrible, many dead bodies were found stacked up together after the Holocaust…
” It is not the purpose of propaganda to create a series of alterations in sentiment…. Its chief function is to convince the masses, whose slowness of understanding needs to be given time in order that they may absorb information; and only constant repetition will finally succeed in imprinting an idea on the memory of the crowd.” Adolph Hitler Mein Kampf Ch 6 (1)…
