German Media, Nazi Propaganda

Hitler was very aware of how the media influenced the public, because of this he took it very seriously and headstrong

He appointed Joseph Goebbels as head of propaganda, his tasks included:

•  To ensure nobody in Germany could read or see anything that was hostile or damaging to the Nazi Party
•  to ensure that the views of the Nazis were put across in the most persuasive manner possible 

 Hitler used all forms of media to spread his propaganda:

• Radio - Nazi propganda was especially effective because the leaders were great public speakers.  Therefore, it only made sense for them to use their verbal abilities through the radio.  
• Cinema - Movies were released to help influence the public on Hitlers point of view
• Speeches - Many speeches were given to the public that ran parallels with the Nazi way of thinking
• Visuals - Large posters were hung around Germany that are the iconic Nazi propaganda 
• Events - The Nazi party held large events where they put their ideals on display
