How successful was Nazi propaganda?
• It strengthened support for Hitler, but not its policies e.g. anti-Semitism
• Nazi’s gained support from propaganda when it played on traditional German prejudices such as nationalism and a fear of Communism.
• May not have appealed to all groups in German society.
