As a result of this less newspapers were sold as people did not want to buy them. Anti-Nazi newspapers were shut down and Jewish editors were sacked. To put it plainly the newspapers underwent huge censorship. This also happened at the cinemas were all films had to have a pro-Nazi. This happened at the beginning of the presentation were now we normally get the trailers. However it is proven that people tried to miss these bits by arriving late. He also censored foreign films coming in to the country.
As well as censoring and changing the media that was already around he constantly plastered Germany with pro-Nazi posters and he made cheap radios so that everyone could afford one. Of course he then took control of the radio stations and played pro-Nazi broadcasts all the time. Even if you didn’t have a radio you still had to listen to the broadcasts because loud speakers were placed in the streets and in public bars. In the broadcasts speeches and ideas were repeated over and over again. Basically in Germany then there was propaganda everywhere and because Hitler had complete power there was no controlling or competing with it. Propaganda was an every day event for ordinary Germans and so the things the propaganda said also became everyday occurrences. Anyone who started to look through the propaganda would be taken away to the concentration camps. Although everyone was susceptible to propaganda the youth were particularly susceptible to it, and being more susceptible to it they were exposed to more of it.
As well as being easier targets they were also the future of Germany (which Hitler mentioned his speeches). If he could get a generation on his side then it wouldn’t matter what happened to the older people because all youngsters loyal to him would be a stronger force. They also made up the future army and if Hitler wanted a good army then he should start the training while the children were still young. So he did this. He had his main weapon to do this with (propaganda), but he also had a bonus added on to this, which was school. At school a lot of learning goes on and so there is lots of room for propaganda. This happened, in history you could learn from your text book how the German army had been "stabbed in the back" by the weak politicians at the end of World War one and how during the twenty's the Jews had squeezed the honest hard working Germans for all that they had. In biology you would have found out how, as an Aryan, you were a superior person, more intelligent, stronger, faster, better all round. In maths you would have done sums to do with artillery ranges. By the end of your schooling you would be completely convinced that believing in Hitler was the right thing to do. As well as school children were encouraged and then forced to join the Hitler Youth or League of Maidens. These were the only youth organisations as all the others were banned. For boys this consisted of learning skills for war (marching sleeping outdoors looking after a rifle) and learning loyalty to Hitler. For girls in the League of Maidens this would have consisted of learning to keep an efficient household and "women's work". By doing this the Nazis explained that a new Aryan race would shine through and become the dominant race above the sub humans. They would achieve this by going to war, the boys would grow up in to brilliant fighting units where as the girls would be around for baby making for more "fighting units".
What the Hitler youth was a training camp for the "Aryan" race. For example if there is a race between two people and one of them does lots of training while the other is not allowed to train then the one that has had the training will probably win. As time went on more and more youths stopped going to the Hitler youth organisations and eventually it became the thing to do. These people would listen to banned music and sing English or American songs. Nazi Germany was a very male dominated society (the Nazi views that a women’s place was at the home bringing up children). So all the important jobs went to men.
From what I have written you can see that Nazi Germany was a very different place from that of other countries. Hitler used propaganda to get support from people in Germany. Women were not treated as well as men and did not have as many rights as that of men. The Nazi’s hated the Jews and blamed them for many of Germany’s problems, through this the people in Germany were educated to hate Jews. If you were a person with an Aryan race you would have been one of the best Germans as described before. Germany in a way was a place of many rules, if you were different you were killed, if you supported someone other than Hitler and the nazi’s you would be punished, you were expected to be the future army of Germany if you were a child.
