Propaganda :)

In 1926, Paul Josef Goebbels (born in Rhineland to poor Catholic) was sided with Hitler and became a more powerful Nazi, and became Gauleiter of Berlin. 
In 1927, founded the paper 'Der angriff'.
In 1928, propaganda cheif to the Nazis.
In 1930, elected to Reichstag.
Paul Josef Goebbels propaganda didn't mirror his own life.


Sculpture is easily accessible to people, so the Nazis put it all over the public buildings.
In 1934, all public buildings were to be adorned with sculptures.
In 1937, two parallel art exhibitions were held in Munich, one was the exhibitions of Great German Art, the other, The Exhibitions of Degenerate Art. The first displayed 6,000 works that represented "true German perfection" in one way or another.
After these works were toured around Germany to show the German people how terrible people outside the Volksgemeinschaft were, they were either destroyed, sold or kept by Goering. 

In 1933, Nine regional broadcast companies were taken over by Reich governors.
In 1934, Nazis establish an unified radio system, purge it of 'hostile elements'.
Radio was mainly used for light entertainment but also broadcasted Hitler's speeches, with 70% of households owning a radio, it meant Hitler could spread his message easily.



Hitler and Goebbels both believed in the power of photos, so much so that Hitler had a personal photographer -Heinrich Hoffmann.
Hitler used to practice poses and the best image were reproduced and put everywhere, even the inside of cigarette packets.
The Nazis used posters during the Weimar Republic to gain attention but after this they were used to create an impression of patriotism and deepen support.



Architecture was the form of propaganda Hitler was proudest of, as it fitted perfectly into his idea of the Thousand Year Reich.
Hitler worked closely with official Nazi architect Albert Speer to plan the re-building of 30 major German cities and Berlin which he planned to rename Germania.
