Hitler's Propaganda Machine

Hitler’s fascination with propaganda was born in the trenches of the First World War. There he saw it emerge as a potent tool of psychological warfare - one that he would harness to build the Nazi movement. Witness Hitler's early propaganda tactics.

This episode explores Hitler's approach to propaganda in power; where persuasion was achieved through propaganda and terror, all in service of one goal: the creation of a state under one shared ideology. A new German power fueled by propaganda.

This episode explores the way Hitler used propaganda to justify his warmongering, reframing it as defence of Germany’s people and borders. It investigates the role propaganda played for both Hitler and the Allies to mobilise their countries for war.
