Nazi Propaganda
The technique of propaganda used by the Nazi party in Germany contributed to their success as a political party and got them support from the people and their power. Propaganda also contributed to their recognition first starting out, the support they needed from the people of Germany, and kept the people under their control by giving the Nazis influence over the minds of the people. Several groups and organizations aided the Nazis in their propaganda; groups were also attacked by the propaganda while others were a target audience. The Nazi's used different forms of propaganda from posters to postage stamps to reach and influence as many people as they possibly could. They used different methods to get people to believe and feel what the Nazis wanted them to. Before and during the war, several events occurred that gave shape to the Nazi's power, from the use of with propaganda; events such as speeches, marches and rallies made Nazi Germany what is was during the time of Hitler. Groups and organizations were a vital part to Nazi propaganda because it was easier to get support from a group as a whole than to just try and appeal to single people.

The Nazis mastered the use of propaganda to let the German people know they were there. After they were known, they used propaganda to influence themselves into power. After they were in power, they used propaganda to get the German people to follow and believe what the Nazis wanted them to believe. After that, propaganda was used to keep the Germans fighting in World War II. This propaganda was successful because of the different groups that aided them, because of the methods and forms used and the appeal to the target audience. The history behind Nazi propaganda lets us see how the Nazi's couldn't have been what they were if it wasn't for their incredible knack for propaganda. ps of people in their propaganda because of stereotypes and ideas or feelings that people had towards these groups. Groups and organizations in Germany also did their part to contribute to Nazi propaganda by organizing events and using their resources to get the propaganda of the Nazis out to as many people as possible. The Nazi's propaganda tried to appeal to groups, which would be the most influenced by the ideas that the Nazi party held such as the youth.

Groups that were considered weak-minded and easily influenced such as women and children were also targeted.

The Nazis also had groups that they disliked that were attacked by their propaganda. The main group of people that were hated and shown in propaganda was Jews.
