Joining the Nazi Party
In p>1924, influenced by Hitler's speech, Goebbels joined the Nazi Party and sought to get ahead through political activities. Goebbels trumpeted the excellent ideology of the German nation and race, believing that the Allies, Marxists and Jews deceived the Germans in order to win the military victory in the First World War. In June 1924, Goebbels said in his diary that he should "think simply, love noble, expect sincere, believe fervently and speak modestly." In October of the same year, Goebbels vowed in his diary that "we must look for God, and that is why we live in the world". In 1925, Goebbels became the party secretary of the Ruhr area of the Nazi Party, and became the main collaborator of Grigol Strasse, the leader of the North German faction of the Nazi Party. Goebbels founded and edited Nazi Newsletter and other publications belonging to the Strasse brothers. In order to win people's hearts, Goebbels and Strasser brothers often made speeches catering to the mood of the working people, proposing that the Nazi Party and the * * * production party and the Social Democratic Party * * * jointly launched a campaign to expropriate aristocratic property, and advocated nationalizing large industries and manors. Because Hitler was extremely dissatisfied with this, Goebbels once declared at the Hanover meeting of the Nazi Party in November 1925 that "I demand that this petty bourgeois adolf Hitler be expelled from the Nazi Party".
recommended to Hitler
After Hitler and Strasse split up, Goebbels was introduced to Hitler. Hitler appreciated the orator who was good at propaganda and agitation. He presented his autographed Mein Kampf and invited Goebbels to give a speech in Munich. Goebbels once recorded with surprise: "I entered the hall, and the cheers were deafening ... I talked for two hours, ... and finally Hitler hugged me." In February, 1926, Goebbels completely fell to Hitler's side at the Nazi Party meeting in Bamberg. In August, Goebbels published a statement of breaking with Strasse through People's Observer.
Party Secretary
In November p>1926, Goebbels was appointed as the Party Secretary of the Nazi Party in Berlin-Brandenburg District, responsible for cleaning up the Party and reorganizing institutions, which soon made the Nazi Party in this area a powerful organization. In 1927, Goebbels founded "The Attack" and served as the editor-in-chief to strengthen Nazi propaganda. Goebbels designed advertising pictures, published propaganda materials, organized parades in the streets, held a commemorative rally of the "Beer Hall Riot" in Munich and a large lecture at the Berlin Gymnasium; Create the myth that the Fuhrer is "always right", portray Hitler as a "master" and induce people to blindly obey; The March "wiesel Fell" written by Horst Wessel, the leader of the killed stormtroopers, was used as a Nazi party song, advocating dedication to the Nazi cause. In 1929, Goebbels was appointed as the propaganda minister of the Nazi Party.
Minister of National Enlightenment Propaganda
On January 3, 1933, Hitler came to power. On March 5 of the same year, the Nazi Party won 43.5% of the votes and formed a Coalition government with the German National Popular Party. On March 13, Goebbels became the newly established Minister of National Education and Propaganda Department and the Chairman of the National Writers Association as the head of the propaganda department of the Nazi Party. At this time, Hitler.
under the planning of Goebbels, two months after he took office, books were burned in Berlin and several important university towns, and the works of some non-German writers such as Freud and Marx were burned. And promote the boycott of Jewish shops, hospitals and lawyers. On April 7th of the same year, the Berufsbeamtentum Law was passed, which stipulated that non-Aryans were not allowed to hold public office, and at the same time, it began to clean up Jews in all fields. However, there are some difficulties in this regulation. For example, when martin heidegger, the famous philosopher who was then the president of Freiburg University, was ordered to "clean up" Jewish professors, he found that the school was in danger of closing immediately, but the anti-Semitic actions continued.
Goebbels also took advantage of being the president of the newly-established National Cultural Institute, constantly attacking "decadent art" and boycotting Jewish artists in propaganda, systematically eliminating the influence of Jews on German cultural life, and buying UFA, the largest film company at that time, and finally bringing all media and artistic expressions under the control of the state.
In World War II, Goebbels was also one of the important war propaganda roles. Jin Roh: The Wolf Brigade, a national guard, was organized among middle-aged and young men who had never been drafted in order to rescue the bombed cities when Germany was at a disadvantage at the end of World War II, which won considerable support. When it was determined that Germany was going to fail, Hitler rarely gave a speech, but Goebbels took his place and told the people to make a final resistance to the allies by radio. In April 1945, when Soviet troops marched on Berlin, Goebbels also called on Berlin citizens to defend the capital. Goebbels most famous propaganda war was a propaganda speech in Berlin Sportpalast after the defeat of Stalingrad, advocating all-out war.
according to his diary, his propaganda department was bombed and suffered a considerable blow. In addition, he repeatedly hoped that Hitler would directly encourage the bombed Berlin citizens, but they were not adopted. During Hitler's assassination on July 2, 1944, he accidentally became the only top Nazi cadre in Berlin, which made considerable contributions to suppressing the rebels. Therefore, on July 25 of the same year, he was ordered by Hitler to be the national leader of the overall war and had a great say in all aspects of internal affairs. On January 3, 1945, he also served as the defense director of Berlin.
