Today we studied some of the aspects of propaganda and its uses, particularly in regard to NAZI Germany. First of all, answer this question: What is the definition of the word propaganda? Next, why was it used so extensively by Hitler and the NAZIs?
The word propaganda means "information, ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc".
Propaganda was used extensively by Hitler and the NAZIs so that they would get the support they needed to win elections and have the citizens listen to them. They could also misguide the Germans and make them think that the Jews, hippies and other communities that did not fit Hitler's vision of "perfect" with blond hair and blue eyes, were not good and therefore discriminated against. The propaganda and campaign posters also had the color red on them that caught people's attentions.
