Was there German propaganda in World War 1?

Answer 1

There is Propaganda on all sides in every war. USA joined WWI in 1917, but still managed to produce more propaganda posters than any other country. Here's some German stuff: http://www.firstworldwar.com/posters/Germany.htm Phil

Answer 2

You don't say exactly what your question is but propaganda was used to encourage people to join the war front in the form of posters, radio ads and more. British propaganda also claimed the Germans were evil and must be beaten. Other propaganda tried to guilt men into helping.

Hope this helped :)

Answer 3

The Germans used propaganda much like other European countries did in World War I. It encouraged nationalistic feelings of the populace and encouraged boys to join the military. Furthermore, it was used to dehumanize the enemies of Germany and make it seem as though Germany was going to achieve a quick victory (before the war) or that it was winning (after the war). Also, I believe that it tried to use propaganda to influence the United States, who was neutral during the early part of the war, but had trouble because Britain controlled the communications lines across the ocean.

Answer 4

Yes, Germany used propaganda during World War 1 to shape public opinion and support for the war effort. This included posters, speeches, and media to influence the perception of the conflict.

Answer 5

It was common in most countries that were fighting Germany.

Answer 6

Yes. In fact, nearly all countries involved did. It was widely used in comics or newspaper in Germany, like one where a big German man was bullying an Englishman in a comic.
