Essay Analyzing Propaganda


The word propaganda means to mislead someone by showing a particular media, this poster shows a strong perfect Aryan willing to fight for his country and persuading others to join him, as such this poster was created in 1936.

This image as I said shows the perfect Aryan gazing off into the distance holding the Nazi flag, standing broad and tall, smiling with dignity as if know one can get in his way and wearing the storm trooper outfit with a shiny buckle indicating a higher authority level. Also in this poster it shows a very dull back ground, focusing only on the student so that people will believe that if they join this as a result they would become a perfect Aryan.

I believe that this poster was aimed at teenager and young adults persuading them to become part of the Hitler Youth showing them the benefits of what would happen if they join. This was clearly a sign of propaganda because they went not going to become Aryan’s instead play a huge part into the rise of Germany's military, it was indeed misleading towards citizens of Germany as they didn't know what they were getting themselves into as they focused entirely on the Aryan, without knowing the risks or joining such a monstrosity!


Absolutely this would of been a successful piece of Propaganda as it was very misleading. From my perspective it led both positive and negative information positive because from the Germans point of view they thought that this would of been a great facility to join and that they would benefit a lot from this, negative because to the rest of the world as they saw that this was how Germany rebuilt there army...
