Hitler's most dominant idea of good propaganda, was that it must be aimed at the masses; it must appeal to the largest population. He knew that if propaganda was to be aimed at the masses, it would have to be adjusted to the lowest intelligence for that mass, in order to affect the greatest range of the population. Adolf Hitler was also aware that the mass in general had a very small memory, and that too many facts would overwhelm them and very little of the propaganda would be remembered. To solve this, propaganda must be aimed and focused on only a few points, and these points must be repeated again and again and again, until there was no way they could be forgotten. Finally, Hitler knew that emotions held power over the mind, so he therefore believed that good propaganda would attack the emotions, in order to convince people to do whatever the propaganda suggested, with very little intellectual consideration.
Hitler's Idea of Good Propaganda.
Adolf Hitler believed that Propaganda was a weapon which could be harnessed, and that this weapon should be aimed at helping "bring about victory". Hitler maintained the ideology that in war the most humane process was the quickest; irrelevant of how violent it may be. He believed that good propaganda should follow the same rules, it must be ruthless and effective, and no matter how harsh it may seem, it would be the best way to achieve success. Another one of Adolf Hitler's views of good propaganda was that it must repeat the same basic slogan; but it must reach/represent this slogan from a variety of different angles in order to keep the masses interested. He believed that propaganda must have a definite point of view, it must represent either negative or positive points; and whatever the propaganda was, it must be consistent for the long-term campaigning.
