a. The chief aims of Nazi propaganda
The chief aims of Nazi propaganda were to make the propaganda so good that people wouldn't even pick up the real aims of the propagandists and to also simplify the message basically so that not the smartest people can get what's going on. The propagandist is also trying to reach all of the different groups and religions in Germany, which is why they have to learn and understand how lower class speaks as well as the different faiths within each section.
b. The means used to achieve those aims
The Nazis basically took over the media and completely controlled most of the means. They took over the radio, films, the press, posters, schools, etc. They also got a hold of the papers, but they didn't want to just take the whole newspaper from Germans so they let the state have more control over the titles.
c. Explain how the Nazis used the press, radio, and film as forms of propaganda. (Pgs. 247-253)
The Nazis' ownership of the media went from 3% in 1933 all the way up to 82% in 1944 because they extended their control. The Nazis controlled everyone who worked in the press; journalists, editors, publishers through their membership of co-ordinating bodies. They also controlled the content of the press through the state controlled Press Agency. This means that they could control the length and positions of articles. Nazis also controlled the radios. Radios were becoming a huge thing and everyone wanted one so the Nazis thought it was smart to broadcast Hitler's speeches so that all of Germany could hear it if they couldn't make it in person. Most films were made to show what was going on in Germany such as the Olympics and the problems in Germany and wanted to get the people involved.
d. Explain Goebbels' contribution to the creation and development of the Third Reich
Goebbels was one of the greatest theorists and practitioners of propaganda and he was the one who was in charge of all of Hitler's propaganda, which was their 'sharpest weapon' in gaining power.

e. Explain how the Nazis used the activities described on pages 254-259 as a form of propaganda.
The Nazis used meetings and rallies, festivals, sports, social policy, and autobahn? Meetings and rallies would attract bystanders and the movies about them might get non supporters to feel like they should be apart of this movement. They used festivals to make everything the Nazis did seem bigger than what they were, plus if you didn't celebrate they would report you to the Gestapo. The sports activities would help develop the fit bodies soldiers and child-bearers needed and with Hitler organizing the sports made him look good. Social policy was used to transform the people's consciousness and the Nazis used schemes to encapsulate the idea of working together. The autobahns represent the political strength, willpower and achievements of Hitler's Germany.

f. Explain how the Third Reich used painting, sculpture and architecture for propaganda purposes (Pgs. 260-270).
The Third Reich used paintings by replacing art with clear visual images that ordinary Germans could understand and be inspired by. The paintings were pictures of ideas of what everyone wanted to be such as the healthy peasant, the brave warrior, the supreme athlete, the productive women, and Hitler was portrayed as a wise and imperious leader. Sculptures were used to convey the Nazi message of the Aryan race by muscle men outside of Nazi buildings. Architecture represented The Thousand Year Reich that they were building because the material of buildings lasted longer.
