Joseph Goebbels the Minister of Propaganda
Paul Joseph Goebbels was a man who came into contact with the Nazi party around 1923. He recognized himself as a Nazi activist and was constantly using his talents in language and speech to make a point. He can be quoted for saying things like the Nazi and Socialist parties need to come together against the capitalists in his early career. Beliefs like these would change for him constantly in the matter of a few years. For some time he was saying that he believed in Hitler, but he thought the officers in under Hitler were not doing things right. Eventually he would attend a meeting that Hitler called for 60 party leaders to attend. In this meeting he would talk about his thoughts on the Communist party and Jews. He claimed that joining with any of the communists would mean the "Bolshevism of Germany" and that he would have no Socialists or Jews in his new vision of Germany.
This speech by Hitler would effect Goebbels greatly. Goebbels can be quoted for saying, "I no longer fully believe in Hitler. That's the terrible thing: my inner support has been taken away." after the event. This feeling would obviously not last forever. In fact, just a month later Hitler would call upon Goebbels personally, to come and speak with him. Hitler called Goebbels to meet with him because he saw that Goebbels had these talents. Hitler would tell Goebbels that he was willing to wipe the slate clean with him if Goebbels was willing to accept his leadership. Goebbels took this offer, and from this point on seemed to live for the Nazi party. He claims to love Hitler for his political genius.
Eventually after Hitler came to power as Chancellor in February 1933, Joseph Goebbels would gain a seat of power on March 13th 1933. He was given the title Minster of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda. Goebbels would play a major part in deploying the Nazi propaganda from here, throughout the war, up to his death.
