Who was primarily responsible for Nazi propaganda?

The responsibility for Nazi propaganda primarily lay with Joseph Goebbels, who served as the Minister of Propaganda from 1933 to 1945. Goebbels played a crucial role in developing and disseminating Nazi ideology, using various forms of media, including film, radio, newspapers, and rallies, to create a strong and persuasive image of the Nazi regime. His expertise in communication allowed him to manipulate public perception and rally support for Adolf Hitler and the party's policies. Goebbels was instrumental in shaping the narrative around key events, promoting anti-Semitic views, and fostering a sense of national unity through propaganda.

In contrast, Heinrich Himmler was mainly focused on the SS and police matters, Hermann Göring was involved in the military and economic aspects of the Nazi state, and Rudolf Hess had a more specialized role as Hitler’s deputy, particularly in the areas of party organization and negotiations, rather than focusing on propaganda efforts.
