Propaganda Battles During Wwii Essay Research Paper

PROPAGANDA BATTLES

Though propaganda has never been a substitute for military strength, extensive

resources, or skillful negotiation, it has often played an important role in wartime

strategy.(Propaganda,1) Propaganda really influnced both sides of World War II. In this

paper I will show why the Nazi party best benifited from the use of prapaganda. Adolf

Hilter use it to turn people against jews, blacks and about every one else that was not

German and he also use it to make people want to join Nazi army. Franklin Roosvelt or

F.D.R also use the science of propaganda to turn people against Germany, Italy and

Japan.

Hitler had first become aware of propaganda and its uses before the First World

War. During the war he saw the effect of British propaganda on the soldiers of the

Centeral Powers. Later on after the war Hitler wrote a book called Mein Kampf ( My

Struggle), he devoted two whole chapters to study and practice of propaganda. He once

said, “The psyche of the masses,” he wrote. “is not receptive to anything that is weak.

They are like a woman, whose psychic state determined less by abstract reason than by an

emotional longing for a strong force will complement her nature. Likewise, the masses

love a commander, and despise a petitioner.”(Propaganda,12)

After many speeches and papers he wrote on prapaganda he became a political

power and became the leader of the party. By know Hitler was to busy to devote much

time to propaganda. He knew that prapaganda required a full time expert. In Joseph

Goebbels he found his man. Goebbels was to become one of history’s greastest political

propagandists. Hitler met him in 1926 and loving his power of persuasion, made him the

head of the party of propaganda department. Gobbels had studied the methods by the

Fascists in Italy to create the image of Mussolini and he applied them to Hitler. He knew

to impress the masses, the modern dictator must be a superman and a man of the people,

wise yet simple. Gobbles wrote, “approach him with confidence, because they feel he is

their friend and protector.” He discribe Hitler as an artist, an architect and a painter, who

had left all that behind to help the German people in their darkest hour.

Goebbels made great use of the mass demonstrations which became regular

feature of Nazi Germany after Hitler’s rise to power. Emotional manipulation, he found

was must effective at these great gatherings. The demonstrations generally took place at

night after 8 p.m, when peoples resistance was at its lowest and when there minds where

open to persuasion.

Goebbels’ propaganda ministry had complete control of the press, radio, theater,

cinema, the creative arts, music, wrighting, art exhibitions. When every book people

read, every newspaper, every film they see, every brodcast, then they no longer wher able

to understand what the saw and hear and then they lost ther judgment.(Propaganda,18)

Goebbels openly admitted that propaganda had little to do with the truth. He was careful

not to tell whole lies, he was master of telling the half truth.

In cinema Goebbel had real closeness he use it a lot in propagandist styles. He

was quick to realize that this new art form form could reach a wider audience than books

or theater. The thinking of thousands of adult men and women all cooped up in the dark,

straing at same image on the silver screen was unthinkable. Thanks to the goverment

movie attendence quadrupled in the a ten-year period. Goebbels took a personal intrest

in all the films made during th Third Reich, and often directed many of them. The best

known films of the nazi period are Triumph of the Will, a documentery about 1936

Olympic games in Berlin.

The Olympic games gave Nazi the power to push there propagandist views and

foriegn countries. At Berlin in 1936, during the sixteen days of the games, 2,500 reports

were broadcaste in 28 languages by German and foriegn reporters.(WWII Through

German Eyes, 48) When these people came to Berlin all anti-Semtic regulations, such as

“Jews not admitted,” were removed from hotels and resturants.

Goebbels’ propagandist found that youths where very is to persuade. With appeal

to there emotions and exploration of thier readiness to belive and follow, the nazis had

already won them over. What really got them was the Hitler parade of uniforms, that

made there every boring every day life a little more tolerable. After finding out how

good children could be for Hitle started a program called the Hitler Youth. Hitler Youth,

gave an order that all other organization were forbidden to take part in any form of

organized sport. They were also forbidden to march in formation, have thier own bands,

carry flags, banners, and pennants. These measure reveal the Nazis’ understanding the

juveniles mind.

The poster had certin advanteges over the other form of propaganda. When

people walked down any street they would see a nazi poster. Hans Schweitzer master of

all the nazis’ propagandist posters. As a nazi leader once said, “ What lengthy speeches

failed to do, Hans did in a second through the glowing fanaticism of his powerful

ar.”(WWII Through German Eyes,65)

The same principles of propaganda poseters held good for postage stamps. The

stamp reaches even larger public than the poster. Stamps on evenlopes referring to the

Saar referendum in 1935 brought the subject to the attention of the entire German people.

There were Party rally stamps, Hitler’s birth-day stamps, stamps reflecting to the return

of Eupen and Malmedy to the fatherland, to the union of Geramany and Austria. In all

German post offices post cards where sold barring solgans from Hitlers speeches. There

where Hitler Youth stamps. The Nazis liked this form of prpaganda as seen in

prohibition of the sale of Soviet Union stamps.

The party owed its success in propaganda more to the spoken than to the printed

word. All of Hitllers great speeches where in front of a large odience. He hated not

having people watch him. He once tryied to do a broadcast, but he declined because he

felt uncomfortable because no one was there to see him. He thaught it was best effective

if people could see you talk, not her talk, becuase they have to see the emotions you put

in to your words and feelings you put out. That did not mean the radio was out intierly.

Goebbel made good use of the radio. He once said that radio would for the 20th century

what newspapers had done for the 19th. Hitler knew this to and in his first year he made

over 50 broadcast. These were speeches at meetings and rallies rather that studio

broadcaste. After this Goebbel focused on the control of all boradcasting in Berlin, so

everyone would hear Hitler speak.

To increase listeners Nazis put on the market one of the cheapest radios made.

The goal was to install a set in ever home in Geramany. This would not be reached for

some time, so communal listening was also encouraged. When importan speeches came

on all work was halted, everything was stoped and everyone had to listen to the speech.

Another system used was the “radio warden”(Propaganda,27) for each block of houses

or apartments buildings. This party member woud encourage his neighbors whod did not

own a radio to buy one, told them to listen to important speeches in his or a friends home.

He sent regular reports on their reactions to the broadcasts. The radio warden became of

speacial importance during the war when he reported those listening to foriegn broadcast.

Listerners soon learned to recognize the signature tunes associated with the various Party

leaders.

The Nazis made good use of short wave transmissions to the Americas. Here a

diffrent technique eas required from the booming methods and language applyied to

Austria. There goal was to impress the north and south americas friendlyness of Nazi

Germany. Fellow ship was also put on by reading these listeners letters and answering

their questions about the new Germany. The radio became the Nazis propaganda

medium. Neither Italy nor the Soviet union, the other totalitarian countries, used it to

such a degree on their less literate populations.

The party knew it owed it success to the spoken rather than the written word was

neatly summed up in directive by Goebbels to the german newspapers on how to write.

The pages of the nazi newspapers showed the atmosphers of the mass meatings, smell of

sweat, leather and blood lust they had at these rallies.

As you can there is not one aspect of daily life in Germany that the party didn’t

have propagandist view on. In clusion I belive that Nazi best benifited form this

persawsive style in battle of Worl War II.
