Methods Hitler used to keep control
over people and why they woreked
- Propaganda and censorship
- Nazi's used huge amounts
of propaganda in form of
posters, radio broadcasts,
films and through their
control of the press
- Any anti-Nazi views suppressed through censorship.
- Effective because many Germans
came to be persuaded by the
propaganda and believed the nazis and
thus had no reason to oppose their rule
- Censorship prevented
opposing views even
reaching, never mind
persuading the people
- Generating the climate of fear
- Nazi's used the terror methods to enforce their rule.
- Gestapo and SS operated
above the law and could arrest
and torture at will.
- Execution or imprisonment in
a concentration camp the
result.
- People encouraged to
'denounce' each other,
creating a climate of
suspicion and mistrust
- Effective because most people too scared
of consequences to oppose the Nazi's
- Simply not prepared to run the
risk of them and their famillies.
- Made Nazi's seem too powerful to be worth opposing
