8: The Power of Propaganda
Though
the majority of German citizens did not vote
for the Nazi party, the Nazis want all Germans
to stand united behind their new government.
The Nazis launch a campaign to win the hearts
and minds of the people. There are Nazi flags
and swastikas everywhere. Posters, magazine
articles, and films show how happy the German
people are with their new country, called the
German Reich. This is called propaganda.
It
is used to make Germans feel proud of themselves
but also superior to others, as a country and
also as a race. No criticism is allowed, so
all "un-German" books, art, and culture
are banned.
