Propaganda during World War II was used extensively by all major nations involved in the conflict to bolster support for the war effort, boost morale, and demonize the enemy.

What was the job of Joseph Goebbels?

Goering was the commander of the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) during this period, and was seen, early in the war at least, as second in line to Hitler in the Third Reich's hierarchy. He seems to have lost credibility following the failure to defeat the RAF in the Battle of Britain, with Goebbels and Himmler both superceding him in Hitler's esteem as the war dragged on. In the end, he surrendered to the allies and was later convicted at Nuremberg of crimes against humanity. Sentenced to death, he escaped the executioner's noose, however, by taking poison shortly before he was due to be hanged.


How did the people of America feel about Marines raised the flag at Iwo Jima?

I saw the film Flags of Our Fathers (2005), directed by Clint Eastwood. How authentic the film is I can't say! Interest in buying war bonds to finance the war was flagging because many Americans believed the war couldn't be won. From what I remember, the raising of the flag was a propaganda exercise to show the people the war was being won, but there were 'inaccuracies' in the reporting of the event. I believe the propaganda campaign had the desired effect!
