The Nuremberg Rally was the annual rally of the Nazi Party in Germany. These rallies were intended to symbolize the solidarity between the German people, reinforce party enthusiasm and to showcase the power of Nazi party to the rest of Germany and the world. Often, they used these rallies to showcase their growing number of participants. The rallies included speeches by the Führer (Hitler). There were great displays of Nazi symbolism such as flags, banners, goose-step marches, human swastika formations, and fireworks displays.
Propaganda is a way to spread ideas and influence opinion. The goal of propaganda is to get people to think a certain way and/or act on that message.
Once in power, the Nazis eliminated free thought, speech, etc., through terror and media manipulation and mobilized propaganda as a weapon to unite the German people around a "leader" and to facilitate aggression, mass murder, and genocide.
The Nazi propaganda machine made posters, films, and books to spread their beliefs.
Joseph Goebbels was placed in charge of propaganda shortly after Hitler took power in 1933. Hitler met frequently with Goebbels to discuss the news. Goebbels would then put the propaganda machine in motion to mobilize Hitler's ideas.
The swastika became the most recognizable symbol of Nazi propaganda. The symbol intended to make Germans proud, but the swastika also struck terror into Jews and others deemed enemies of Nazi Germany.
Education
Education in the Third Reich served to indoctrinate students with the National Socialist world view. Nazi educators glorified Nordic and other “Aryan” races, while labeling Jews and other so-called inferior peoples as parasitic “bastard races” incapable of creating culture or civilization.
After 1933, the Nazi regime eliminated teachers from classrooms who were deemed to be Jews or to be “politically unreliable.” In fact, many teachers joined the Nazi Party. Schools played an important role in spreading Nazi ideas to German youth. While censors removed some books from the classroom, German educators taught students love for Hitler, obedience to state authority, militarism, racism, and antisemitism.
In the classroom and in the Hitler Youth, instruction aimed to produce race-conscious, obedient, self-sacrificing Germans who would be willing to die for Führer and Fatherland (Germany).
Devotion to Adolf Hitler was a key component of Hitler Youth training. German young people in the Hitler Youth and the League for German Girls celebrated his birthday (April 20)—a national holiday. German adolescents swore allegiance to Hitler and pledged to serve the nation and its leader as future soldiers. Think of it like the Boy and Girl Scouts for Hitler.
The Hitler Youth combined sports and outdoor activities with ideology. Similarly, the League of German Girls emphasized collective athletics, such as rhythmic gymnastics, which German health authorities deemed less strenuous to the female body and better geared to preparing them for motherhood.
Board games, toys, and books for children served as another way to spread "racial" and political propaganda to German youth. Toys were also used as propaganda vehicles to indoctrinate children into militarism.
