Hitler’s fascination with propaganda was born in the trenches of WWI. There he saw it emerge as a potent tool of psychological warfare. One that he would harness to build the Nazi movement over the course of the 1920’s and early 1930’s. Part 1 of 3.
This episode explores Hitler’s approach to propaganda in power. Where persuasion was achieved through propaganda and through terror. All in service of one goal. To create a state under one shared ideology: One People, One Reich, One Fuhrer. Part 2 of 3.
This episode explores the way Hitler used propaganda to justify his warmongering, reframing it as defence of Germany’s people and borders. And the role propaganda played for both Hitler and the Allies to mobilise their countries for war. Part 3 of 3.
