Timeline of Nazi Propaganda and Control

1933: The Nazis establish the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, led by Joseph Goebbels, to control all media and cultural messaging.

1934: The Law Against the Formation of New Parties consolidates Nazi control, and propaganda becomes a tool for promoting Hitler’s image and Nazi ideology.

1935: The Nuremberg Laws are announced, with propaganda used to justify racial policies against Jews.

1936: The Berlin Olympics are used as a propaganda opportunity to showcase Nazi Germany.

1938: Kristallnacht is portrayed as a spontaneous outbreak of German patriotism, with propaganda framing Jews as enemies.

1939: The outbreak of WWII sees propaganda focus on nationalism and the need for total war.

1940-1945: Continuous use of propaganda to maintain morale, promote anti-Semitic policies, and demonize enemies.

Post-1945: Nazi propaganda is discredited following the defeat, but its influence on society is extensively studied.
