3) "The most important reason why there was little opposition in Germany towards the Nazi regime and its use of Propaganda."
I believe this statement is fairly true. Therefore I agree, as most things were propaganda. Such as the Hitler Youth Movements, speeches and posters.
In my essay I am going to show the methods of propaganda the Nazis used, opposition the Nazis, how propaganda help opposition and what I think is the best method for keeping Germany under control.
The methods of propaganda the Nazis used were: -
* The radio- to broadcast speeches
* The Hitler Youth Organisations
* The S.S
* The Gestapo
* Posters (with clever headings and graphics)
Many people objected to the personal restrictions placed upon them and to the treatment of Jews in Germany. Yet there was a great difference in active opposition and objecting to some of Hitler's policies. Hitler's two main opponents were the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and the Communist Party (KPD) who went under ground and published anti-nazi propaganda. Very little of this reached germany and its people. More common opposition came from artists and authors. This opposition was more concerned with the restrictions on artistic freedom. Most choose to emigrate of just simply suffer in silence. In 1933 the Catholic Church and the Nazis signed an agreement not to make comments on political matters as long as the Nazis didn't interfere with religion. Hitler didn't keep his promise and interfered more and more. The Catholic Youth movements were closed as they rivalled the Hitler Youth. Gangs proved to be a problem to the youth movements because boys aged 14-17 liked to beat up and hurt members of the Hitler Youth Movement.
