What was the role of Joseph Goebbels in Nazi Germany?

Josef Goebbels (1897-1945) was one of the main political leaders in Nazi-Germany, during World War 2. He was Minister of Propaganda, and was very skilled at manipulating information in a way that helped the regime. Goebbels had been a journalist and a (failed) writer before becoming Minister. He used many modern techniques, especially the radio and cinema, but also newspapers, posters, paintings etc., to broadcast his propaganda messages. Goebbels was absolutely fanatic; he ordered operations like the public mass-burning of books (called "auto da-fe"), after issuing lists of books that the German people was forbidden to buy or read. Every media was strictly controlled, everything was done to prevent the people from reading, watching, listening to any free information. Theatre, art, movies, books... : everything was supposed to make the German people believe that Hitler was their great leader, that the country was going to take over Europe to make it a better place, that the Jews were a nuisance, etc. This propaganda was intented to control what people thought and believed. However, Goebbels was high-educated, and in a way he tried to save a part of the very rich German cultural heritage, partly because it contributed to the prestige of the country. As the Propaganda minister, he made huge campaigns with specific aims, like in 1939, in order to give Germany a reason to invade Poland, he imagined a complex scenario with false radio messages pretending that German minorities in Poland were being abused, thus giving Germany an excuse to invade the country. He was one of Hitler's closest advisors and he strongly believed that Hitler was right. Therefore, even at the very end of the war, when it had become clear that Germany was losing the war and that Hitler was becoming almost crazy, Goebbels remained with Hitler in a bunker, under the Chancellery in Berlin, unlike some high officers and close advisors, who tried to escape Berlin before the Allies enter the city. Goebbels committed suicide with his wife (after killing their 6 children), in the bunker, one day after Hitler's suicide. He had thus been the Reich Chancellor for one day, since Hitler had appointed him to be his successor at the head of the falling German Empire.
