Nazi propaganda 1933 and onwards.

Propaganda:

Joseph Goebbels: Minister of popular enlightenment and propaganda from 1933.

Radio monopoly: The state issued a monopoly on all radio traffic and could therefore spread propaganda as they wished.

Removing Jews and other unwanted people: Forcing Jews to and other unwanted groups of people to sell their newspapers etc, the Nazis could effectively control all press, eliminating threats to Hitler and the regime as well as spread their propaganda unhindered.

 Hitler wanted to create a spirit of Nationalism and unity of all Germans (note Germans not people living in Germany), and therefore he set out to pushed the jews down. All germans were connected by blood and he wanted them to believe that they were superior to others, he wanted them to be united under the spirit of National-Socialism.

Hitler appointed one of his most trusted Henchmen, Joseph Goebbels as propaganda minister, giving him the task of brainwashing the german population and achieving his dream.

Goebbels recognized that the radio was the fastest and easiest way to reach out to the population so he issued a radio monopoly to give him complete control over what was sent. Goebbels installed radio systems in all public spaces, as well as in factories and other workplaces. He also issued an order to mass produce simple radios so every german could own one (not the jews of course). This arrangement allowed Goebbels to constantly agitate during the day, and even well-educated people became indoctrinated after a certain time. Also all German radios had a blocking system, blocking foreign news stations so the german population would not be “brainwashed” by their “lies”.

In the early years of the Nazi regime, Goebbels banned communist and socialist newspapers as a mean of controlling the press. He also forced the jewish population and other unwanted groups to sell their newspapers, cheaply to the Nazi regime. Goebbels created a monopoly over the press so only the nazi propaganda could be heard.

Goebbels also supervised the theater and it´s production allowing him to remove all plays and acts that he did not consider to be in spirit of National-Socialism. He also raided art galleries and museums to remove art that did not fit so well in the National-socialistic frame (Note Goering stole some nice art here as well, thief).

The German schools were instructed to teach the students about the superiority of the German/Aryan race, most often showing examples on how a true Aryan looked compared to the Jews.

The propaganda itself was limited in its success. The combination of repression, propaganda and successful military campaigns allowed Hitler to keep opposition down within the Reich.
