Germany and the Power of Propaganda

Germany was very poor after the first big war.

Many people had no jobs or money for food.

The people were very sad and lost hope.

Adolf Hitler promised to fix all their problems.

He used simple words that everyone could understand.

The government controlled every radio and newspaper.

They only showed good things about the leader.

People did not hear any different stories or news.

The posters made Hitler look like a strong hero.

He blamed other groups for the country's bad luck.

This helped the people feel united together.

Many people believed the lies because they were scared.

The propaganda promised a new and rich life.

It was very difficult to disagree with the government.

That is why so many people followed the messages.
