Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda

The Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda was a government agency led by Joseph Goebbels in Nazi Germany.

The ministry used newspapers, films, radio, and rallies to spread propaganda, shaping Germans’ perceptions and support for the regime’s policies, including militarism and anti-Semitism. It was a key tool for maintaining Nazi power and manipulating public perception during the regime's time in office.
