About this episode
"National Socialism has no aggressive intentions against any European nation." -Adolf Hitler, Proclamation opening the party congress at Nuremberg on September 11, 1935.
More from my WWII government resource which is essentially the playbook for how Hitler and his Third Reich took control. So much of this story revolves around carefully constructed propaganda--and some of it coming out of America with Edward Bernays. Today's episode examines how the masses were controlled by slogans, certain repeated messages, and BIG LIES.
