Question

How was Germany's art of propaganda responsible for establishing total control over its people?

Answer 1

Hitler devised a new style of politics. He understood the significance of rituals and spectacle in mass mobilizations . Hitler was a powerful speaker his passion and his words moved people. He promised to build a strong nation, undo the justice of the Versailles treaty and restore the dignity of the German people. He promised employment for those looking for work and a secure future for the youth. He promised to weed out all foreign influences and resist all foreign conspiracies against Germany . nazis held massive rallies and public meetings to demonstrate the support for Hitler and instil a sense of unity among the people. nazi propaganda skillfully projected Hitler as a messiah, a saviour, as someone who had arrived to deliver people from their distress.

Answer 2

When Hitler took power, the Nazi party grew to be the most influential in Parliament, which later led to losing control.

• When Hitler came to power, the Nazi party quickly became the most powerful in Parliament. He made the decision to abolish all democratic institutions and replace them with authoritarian ones.
• He signed the enabling Act, which granted him complete authority to defy Parliament and rule by decree. All political parties and labour organisations were outlawed by Hitler, with the exception of his own Nazi party.
• The state took control of the economy, media, army, and judiciary. He later withdrew his country from the League of Nations after refusing to accept the terms of the Versailles Treaty.
• In the end, he created German racial superiority and security forces to maintain societal control.
• Children were encouraged to be loyal and subservient at school. They were also indoctrinated with anti-Semitism and Hitler love. As a result, a personality cult was being formed.
