Books on Nazi Propaganda.

by BreakingBran

Does anyone know any credible books about Nazi propaganda or what role propaganda played in Nazi Germany through the years of 1933-1945.

Certainly. The works of Randall Bytwerk are very useful. The three titles I've read by him are Bending Spines: The Propagandas of Nazi Germany and the German Democratic Republic, Doctor Goebbels: His Life and Death, and Julius Streicher: Nazi Editor of the Notorious Anti-Semitic Newspaper Der Stuermer. Bytwerk also maintains a fantastic website dedicated to Nazi and East German propaganda. I would also recommend David Welch Propaganda and the German Cinema 1933-1945.

For an online resource, check out the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum's online site for their past exhibit State of Deception: The Power of Nazi Propaganda.

There is currently an exposition in Berlin which is very solid and was made with the aid of many historians. I was honestly very impressed and bought the book after visiting. It features a lot of imagery and is aimed at a broader audience, but it's well done and it features quotes and notes from recent and renowned academical works. It's called "Topography of Terror" and is very much worth the visit if you happen to live close to Berlin.

I'm not sure if the book is available online though.
