Nazi Propaganda and Second World War

The ‘use’ of mass media by the governments has been a long standing tradition. Every government has a ministry or a department related to the Press or the Media. The need of ‘managing’ the media by the governments is felt the most during the time of national crisis, and incidentally war is one such time. This paper attempts to analyse the use/ misuse of media as a propaganda tool by the state and non-state actors for achieving their own goals which are stated to be nationally important.
