Nazi and East German Propaganda
Guide
Page
Propaganda
was central to Nazi Germany and the German Democratic Republic. The
German Propaganda Archive includes both propaganda itself and material
produced for the guidance of propagandists. The goal is to help people
understand the two great totalitarian systems of the twentieth century
by giving them access to the primary material. For
further information on the site, see the
FAQ. New items are described in the GPA Blog.
My recent book titled Bending Spines: The Propagandas of
Nazi Germany and the German Democratic Republic (Michigan
State University Press, 2004) provides an analysis of much of
the material on the German Propaganda Archive. It can be ordered in
the United States through amazon.com in either the hardcover
or paperback
edition. It is also available through amazon sites in other countries.
