Propaganda has always been prominent during wars to influence a person's mind with deception of the truth. But during World War ll especially; radio propaganda had a huge influence on public opinion. Germany heavily controlled all of the media that the citizens consumed, with this; they were able to deceive the minds of their citizens and further push the Nazi agenda to the people. Germany was not the only country to use propaganda, but in Germany they were more heavily censored which is why the propaganda was so effective. The United States also used the radio for propaganda.
