4,080 words (approx. 16.3 pages) | 17 sources | MLA | 2002 United States


Paper Summary:

This paper looks at how effectively Hitler managed to use manipulation to build the Third Reich and the extent to which the German public believed and supported Hitler's propaganda. Examples of Hitler's genius at manipulating emotions are discussed, and the man largely responsible for Hitler's successful propaganda, Dr. Joseph Goebbels, is also discussed. The media, military displays, censorship, intimidation, symbolism, and extreme awareness of public responses are all mentioned as techniques employed by the Nazi propaganda machine.

From the Paper:

"The amazing thing about the propaganda of the Nazis was both the extent to which it was successful and the extent to which it was supported. No one can dispute that Hitler was a master of manipulating the people's emotions, and he arrived at a time when the people of Germany were struggling to find purpose in the post-war environment. The Weimar Republic was wracked with debt repayments and the infant democracy had nothing to stand on in terms of tradition and respect from the common people."

I have a Bachelors degree from the University of London in History and English, I am currently enrolled in Oxford University for my MA in Modern History, at which point I think I shall go on to get my Doctorate from either Oxford or Harvard. My area of expertise is British History and Literature, as I received my Bachelors in History and English from the University of London, and most especially anything to do with Shakespeare or any other Renaissance or later period authors as well. My history is mostly medieval with a few modern or ancient essays as well. Cheers, Gerard
