The Power of Propaganda
As chancellor, Adolf Hitler used his speaking ability to gain favor among the German people. The party rose to power rapidly, and many people believed that Germany had found a solution to all of its problems. Hitler established a Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda headed by Joseph Goebbels.

"The German Nation, the German people, brought Hitler to power. They cheered his triumphs. They bore the burden of his war. They participated in his crimes. They were also his victims" (Steinhoff xix). |
