Nazi Propaganda - Effects On German Warfare

Effects On German Warfare

The propaganda that the Nazis exposed to the German people and soldiers desensitized them. Looking at the actions carried out against the Jewish people with the Holocaust and in the campaigns on other countries, like the 1939 Polish Campaign, it becomes obvious that the German warfare in World War II was especially brutal and unforgiving. The link between Nazi propaganda and German warfare can be identified . With the use of Blitzkrieg the German army was able to quickly eliminate anyone they had targeted, slaughtering them, with what seems, no second thought. It is possible that the message of propaganda, the instillation of race consciousness, is a significant factor in explaining the brutal actions of the German army.

    Everything ponderous, viscous, and solemnly clumsy, all long- winded and boring types of style are developed in profuse variety among Germans—forgive me the fact that even Goethe’s prose, in its mixture of stiffness and elegance, is no exception, being a reflection of the “good old time” to which it belongs, and a reflection of German taste at a time when there still was a “German taste”Ma rococo taste in moribus et artibus.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    Insurrection—by means of guerrilla bands—is the true method of warfare for all nations desirous of emancipating themselves from a foreign yoke ... It is invincible, indestructible.
