  ::Propaganda in Nazi Germany::
Propaganda within Nazi Germany was taken to a new and frequently perverse level.
Propaganda is the art of persuasion - persuading others that your 'side of the story' is correct.
Propaganda might take the form of persuading others that your military might is too great to be challenged; that your political might within a nation is too great or popular to challenge etc. In Nazi Germany, Dr Joseph Goebbels was in charge of propaganda.

 propaganda
Propaganda does not, therefore, need to rack its brains with regard to the importance of every individual instructed by it, with regard to his ability, capacity, and understanding, or character, while the organisation must carefully gather from the mass of these elements those who really make possible the victory of the movement.
Propaganda works on the general public from the standpoint of an idea and makes them ripe for the victory of this idea, while the organisation achieves victory by the persistent, organic, and militant union of those supporters who seem willing and able to carry on the fight for victory.
The second task of propaganda is the disruption of the existing state of affairs and the permeation of this state of affairs with the new doctrine, while the second task of organisation must be the struggle for power, thus to achieve the final success of the doctrine.

 Propaganda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the early 20th century the term propaganda was also used by the founders of the nascent public relations industry to describe their activities; this usage died out around the time of World War II, as the industry started to avoid the word, given the pejorative connotation it had acquired.
Propaganda also has much in common with public information campaigns by governments, which are intended to encourage or discourage certain forms of behavior (such as wearing seat belts, not smoking, not littering and so forth).
Propaganda is also one of the methods used in psychological warfare, which may also involve false flag operations.

 Hans Fritzsche
It is ironic that his propaganda ascribing atrocities to the peoples of the USSR are accurate descriptions of some of the many atrocities committed by the German invaders.
When Fritzsche entered the Propaganda Ministry, which has been called the most fabulous "lie factory" of all time, and thus attached himself to the conspiracy, he did so with more of an open mind than most of the conspirators who had committed themselves at an earlier date, before the seizure of power.
Without the propaganda apparatus of the Nazi State, the world would not have suffered the catastrophe of these years, and it is because of Fritzsche's role in behalf of the Nazi conspirators, and their deceitful and barbarous practices, that he is called to account before the International Military Tribunal.

 Amazon.com: Propaganda: Books: Jacques Ellul   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Perhaps Ellul's most important insight was that the educated believed themselves immune to propaganda when, due to their proclivity for reading and watching news and other governmental outflow, such "intellectuals" were actually far more vulnerable than masses who did not receive propaganda as often.
Ellul's study still stands out as one of the greatest achievements in the history of the study of propaganda, in terms of how it is practiced, how/why it is effective and how it is inescapable and tied to the very nature of democratic society.
Propaganda, ANY propaganda, regardless of motives or veracity, serves to reduce the individual to function as a meaningless syphon.
