Propaganda
and
censorship
LO: explain how different methods were used to
persuade Germans that Nazism was right for
Germany
Propaganda and censorship
Propaganda promoted
the spread of pro-Nazi
ideas
Censorship stopped
the spread of anti-Nazi
ideas
Used posters, radio,
films, newspapers,
rallies, paintings and
sculpture
Censored all books,
films, newspapers.
Banned modern music
and theatre.
Nuremberg rallies
• Annual rally with marches, flying
displays and speeches…
• Attended by hundreds of thousands of
people…
• Were they all Nazi believers or were the
rallies just fun to watch??
Books & films
• Ran a heavily-publicised book-burning in 1933
• Censorship of all books
• Mein Kampf was the best selling book (was it also
the most read??)
• Films had to have a pro-Nazi message and the
newsreels were all about Hitler’s achievements
• Many people avoided the newsreels by coming late
Jazz Music
• … was banned
• This only made the Swing Youth more
keen to listen to it!
• … either using old records or through
foreign radio stations, which was very risky
Newspapers
• Jewish and anti-Nazi papers closed down
• All content was closely censored
• As a result, circulation fell by 10%
(suggests many didn’t want to read the
Nazi message)
Radio
• Made cheap radios available
• Only broadcast Nazi stations, not foreign
ones
• People bought the radios because they
were cheap and played music as well as
Nazi speeches…
• Listening to BBC punishable by death!

building a great and strong country

up children

who are inferior to them

punished severely
