5. Propaganda
Propaganda is presenting information in a way that is persuasive and is influential to the audience
Propaganda was mainly displayed with posters
In the posters, it displayed how Hitler thought the Germans should look like
It was also used to make Hitler and his people look like the “good guys”
It also gave people the impression that Hitler was god-like

6. What the Propaganda did and taught people
The children were exposed to propaganda at a very young age
It was an effort to reshape German minds aka brainwashing
The kids and the adults were taught to think that anyone external of Germany were their enemies
They were also brainwashed to think that Hitler was the greatest person
Because young and gullible kids were told that Hitler was such a good person and that what he was doing was right, they would become fascinated with becoming a Nazi and so they joined HYA
In return, made the HYA even more successful
The HYA wouldnt of been as successful as it was without propaganda
After the war, propaganda had a bad rap because of the Nazis

7. Propaganda
A lot of the posters had children that were happy in Nazi uniforms and had Hitler giving gifts to children
Propaganda was also showed in schools
