Requirements: PDF Reader, 1.8MB
Overview: In the right hands, propaganda can be a powerful weapon – both in war time and as a means of controlling a population. In Nazi Germany, propaganda was elevated to an art form. It was used with precision and with a great deal of success throughout most of World War II. In The Third Reich: Politics and Propaganda, David Welch offers readers an in-depth look into the role that propaganda played in the rise of Nazism, and how it was used, both politically and socially by the Nazi Party.
In this text Welch not only looks at the relationship between politics and propaganda, but also how the Nazi propaganda apparatus was organized and how it adapted to changing situations. Additionally, Welch also takes a thorough overview of the various approaches that historians have taken when studying the Third Reich and the various debates that have ensued within the academic community regarding how data about Nazism should be interpreted. In this regard, he illustrated how perspectives in the field have shifted over time, and the impact this has had in our understanding of the events, especially the atrocities, that transpired during the Nazi regime.
Welch also offers some insights into the role played by the German people in the rise of Nazism. He also delves into the touchy topic as to whether or not their cultural and historical make-up contributed to the general acquiescent to Nazism, the ideals of racial purity, and the Nazi’s attempt to annihilate the Jews. Welch also looks at how propaganda was used to garner support for specific Nazi programs such the euthanasia campaign, the campaign to dehumanize and kill the Jews, and the creation of the Volksgemeinschaft (National Community) and the ‘Hitler’ myth.
