The first action of implementing terror into society was withdrawing many of the freedoms and rights that the German people had during the Weimar period by utilising their authority and using the SA and Gestapo as the prime enforces of terror. They went from door to door arresting Socialists, Communists, Trade union leaders and other who did not fit the ideas of the Nazi party. The intimidation of the authorities combined with the willingness of the German citizens to prosecute Jewish and Communist to the police brought society in a state of unease and paranoia. Germany was brainwashed by propaganda and terror into thinking that in order to be a “good citizen” you must perform repressive acts and inform authorities of crimes. Although this denunciation was not rare in the modern political systems,the Gestapo played the situation to a much greater scale which controlled more aspects of German life than ever before as the intimidation was severe amongst the population.The Gestapo represented the image of being an all-knowing, ever-present and all-powerful which was a reflection of the newspaper stories. Gestapo used methods to achieve control, including arbitrary arrest and torture to achieve confessions from their victims “The best political weapon is the weapon of terror. Cruelty commands respect. Men may hate us. But, we don’t ask for their love; only …show more content…
Propaganda, terror and repression played a significant role in the Nazi regime. Hitler used each to supplement and complement each other with the main focus to make Hitler appear a strong, powerful and all-knowing man who was in favour of the Nazi vision of the ‘national community’.

TASK 1- WWII ESSAY How did Nazis control the people through the use of concentration camps, rallies and glorification of Hitler? How was each of these means used to control German society and secure Hitler’s position and power? During the period of World War 2. Hitler and the Germans wanted to exterminate all Jews.
By getting the youth of Germany to believe in Hitler's ideas the propagandists produced a new generation of people with the ideas and beliefs of Hitler implemented into their heads, making them easier to control. Of course there was also many German citizens in Germany, so in order for the propagandists to get their ideas across they would need to make sure their ideas were able to get to each and every citizen. This meant the propagandist had to use every form of Propaganda to control people. They used posters, songs, Radio, Films, Newspapers, and books. These forms of Propaganda worked exceptionally well due to people being constantly exposed to these forms of propaganda anywhere they went, making it very easy to brainwash the german citizens with their ideas.
“Of course I know, mother! They are the Jews! Our teacher has often told us about them.” This excerpt from the story suggests that children often were taught to be wary of and avoid Jews. As such, they taught children Jews were “bad for society.”
During this time period, Hitler and the Nazis scapegoated Jews for the economic, social, and political disarray Germany had been in post-WWII. They led propaganda campaigns in which they used pseudoscience and pseudohistory to explain the supposed inferiority of the Jewish people. These campaigns resulted in widespread persecution
In order to further understand Nazi Germany, under the rule of Adolf Hitler, this paper analyzes relevant a primary and secondary source. The article “The Rise of National Socialism in Germany” looks at a number of works in order to understand how the Nazi party came into power, as well as addressing anti-Semitism as a core element of the Nazi ideology (Herf 515). Published by Jeffrey Herf in the 10th volume of the journal of Contemporary European History, the article mentions a number of factors that contributed to the acquisition of power by the Nazi party. A crucial factor that influenced the population to vote for the Nazi party was the pervasive and attractive anti-Semitism during the Weimar Republic, which was in power prior to Hitler, and greatly differentiated the Nazi party from the others (Herf 515).
When Adolf Hitler Came to power in January 1933 he used huge amounts of propaganda to immediately turn the Germans away from the Jews, but we all know that don’t we? In January 1933 Hitler was appointed chancellor, the head of the German government and every one believed that they had found a savior for the country. Now at the time Germany was still battling its way out of debt from WWI. In the first months of Hitler’s new title he forced organizations, political parties, and state governments into line and under Nazi leadership. For the culture?
On January 30, 1933, darkness roamed all over in Germany. The world’s massive genocide occurred: the Holocaust. The Holocaust, led by the great Nazi party, frightened the sight of many people. Although, many events contributed towards the Holocaust, the Nazis prejudice ways, powerful government, and persuasive mouths lead to the Holocaust because persuasion by the powerful Nazi regime created enmity in Germany, towards the people that the Nazis disregarded.
Each of these ten stages, in regards to the genocide of the Jewish people during WWII, have clear examples of propaganda that aide each stage in be achieved. The Nazi regime progressed through each of these ten steps using Propaganda to fuel their means. Hitler used propaganda to promote anti-Semitism in order to create an atmosphere where labeling, segregation, and eventually extermination of the Jewish people would be tolerated. During the 20th Century, the Nazi Party incorporated many forms of anti-Semitic propaganda. Some of the most effective forms they used included newspapers, posters, films, and radio.
While he dictated, the culture of Germany was changed. Hitler wanted to make the population all think and be one certain way. To make this happen he made, “ Musical performances, movies, and other cultural public activities...all meant to make German’s brains exactly like the Nazi, eliminating any other thought of anti-government”(1). By controlling what people watched and read, Hitler brainwashed Germans to think positively of him and the Nazi’s. The population was not able to freely read or watch any sort of literature or other arts.
Jennifer Riocasa Period 2 The Power of Words From 1941 to 1945, six million Jews were killed during the Holocaust. In Nazi Germany, your identity was a big deal considering whether you live or die. Imagine yourself as a prisoner in a Nazi concentration camp, where heaps of dead bodies lay scattered on the ground, rotting in the sun. You will be confined in a one meter by one-meter cell, large enough for only one person, but sometimes Nazis force up to four people into the tight space.
Throughout ww2 propaganda seemed to be the main thing that got into everybody 's head. It changed the way that they thought about other countries and the way that they thought about their own country. Hitler did a great job at using propaganda to control the minds of his country, but he didnt use it for good. It wasn 't just in Germany that propaganda was used. It was used it just about every country but mainly in Britain, France and America.
In January 1933, a man who had several failures in his life rose to power in Germany. That man was known as Adolf Hitler. A man with strong leadership skills and an even stronger ability to speak. He felt that Jews were the main problem and he wanted them exterminated. So Hitler made that his Final Solution and gave speeches about it.
Joseph Goebbels, the German rulers’ propaganda chief, helped propel Hitler to national leadership in 1933. Joseph does this by pulling in support from all over the country and strong powers on the outside as well. By the use of propaganda the Nazis will influence the supports for anti-Semitism and later on the movement against other countries. Goebbels intentionally capitalizes “WE ARE ENEMIES OF THE JEWS BECAUSE WE BELONG TO THE GERMAN PEOPLE. THE JEW IS OUR GREATEST MISFORTUNE” to emphasize on that if you’re a German citizen you are against the Jewish religion.
Hitler had a view for a ‘Greater Germany’, a different Germany to the economically broken and struggling one in the 1930’s. Since his views seemed so outstanding for the country at the time, both party officials and ordinary Germans attempted to make this ‘dream’ become a reality, which involved persecuting the Jews within the country as well as those that Germany had power over. This was a genocide. Because of this, Nazi officials had high attempts to impress Hitler by imposing laws, coming up with ideas such as organising rallies to discriminate them further, pogroms, etc. just to gain some recognition from him. For example, Kristallnacht in 1938 was carried out by Goebbels, which could possibly have been done just to
Evaluate the role of the economy and propaganda in Hitler's maintenance of power Seungchan Yang After Hitler took a power in Germany, he managed to consolidate his power using his economy policy, gathered destitute Germans together, but also using the propaganda, increasing the support towards him. This increasing mass of supports towards him due to his policy that had increased the employment in a tremendous amount and the use of propaganda that had spread his belief and convinced Germans. However, despite these successful economic policy, the fund raised was purely concentrated on rearmament and still the autarky was not achieved, and his economy policy was just for the violation of Treaty of Versailles. Still, Hitler’s decisions in
