Nazi Propaganda This image creates a caricature of a Jewish man: big nose, short and stout, carrying money. He is walking hand in hand with a representation of the Soviet Union (I can tell by the graphic on the tall man’s hat) showing the negative (from the Nazi’s perspective) relationship between Jews and capitalism, socialism, and communism.

Nazi Propaganda – Name calling “Cheating Jews”

Nazi Propaganda – For the Greater Good Posters such as this one, which advertises a paper drive, were also very common and were related to production propaganda posters. These types of posters urged German citizens to conserve materials for the war effort. Although this poster specifically concerns paper, many drives were organized for a variety of materials. During the war, many materials that would have been commonplace and easy to produce during peacetime began to get scarce. Posters such as these prompted the viewer to help give to the Nazi cause.

Nazi Propaganda – Fear and Obedience This poster and those of its kind suggestthat spies are listening, even though spies were not particularly common in wartime Germany. However, they were important to the propaganda effort. Posters such as these implied that spies were everywhere and would hear any gossip or loose talk about the war effort. The implication that spies were close and listening in also helped to bring the reality of war home to most people. In most cases, this served to make the public work harder and be more careful about conservation, two of the main other reasons for propaganda. As long as the public felt threatened, they would obey commands that would, in their eyes, remove that threat.

Nazi Propaganda – Hitler worship This poster which reads “One People, One Reich, One Führer, ” was a piece of one of the most important parts of the German propaganda. By establishing a rudimentary worship for the Führer (Leader) that was almost mythological, Adolf Hitler was established as the absolute head of the government and to some a semi-deity. This inspired the public to work harder and do more for the Reich, having been convinced by the Führer propaganda that the war was a sort of holy quest or crusade. The Führer worship also helped instill pride in Germany and the Reich among the German population. This type of propaganda was also heavily reinforced by speeches and radio broadcasts.

Nazi Propaganda Posters like this one, which advertises the Nazi film “The Eternal Jew, ” served to dehumanize the German Jews. The film “The Eternal Jew” itself compares the Jewish people to rats. By dehumanizing Jews, the Nazi leaders began to prepare for Hitler’s “Final Solution. ” The Nazi leaders knew that when the deportations began it would be much easier for the German people to watch friends and neighbors shipped away if they associated them with rats or with age-old stereotypes about cheating with money. The propaganda was able to play off the existing racial difficulties in Germany has well as to enhance the original nationalistic pride of the German people that they were somehow chosen or holy. Anti. Semitic propaganda was common in wartime Germany, and often depicted Jews in league with communists or another hated group causing harm to Germans.
