"Propaganda is a truly terrible weapon in the hands of an expert."
-Adolf Hitler, 1924
During the course of two decades, Nazi propagandists skillfully used their "terrible weapon" to win broad voter support in Germany's young democracy, implement radical programs under the party's dictatorship, and justify war and mass murder.
State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda examines how the Nazis sought to manipulate public opinion in order to attain their goals, the end result of which was a war that cost the lives of some 55 million people, including the systematic murder of 6 million Jewish men, women, and children in the Holocaust. |
