zander is an unknown quantity at this point
As i was searching the forum for ''propaganda'' i got fully surprised when i didn't found anything about that.And that cause propaganda was the main weapon not only for German,Japan,and Itally, but also for the Allies.Also that heavy weapon was used more frequently even before the war.Oufcourse the greatleaders knew that a new war was ready to start but they had to pass it to their people with an easy way-without arguments.I am sure you all know about mini radio-spots,advertisments in newspapers and in the walls and many more that had only one purpose:to make the word ''WAR'' sound happier to the ''blind'' citizens.With the aim of propaganda almost tha japan changed her name to ''Great Japan Empire'' causing great confidence to japanese people while causing more fear to their unsuspicious neibhors:the americans.I still remember a small song the proud japanese people had:''Mighty fortresses floating on the seas,defending our homeland near and far...''.But enough of Japan.As i said before ALL the involved countries played with propaganda.Like Germany and Britain during the battle of Crete.When all started to becoming faid for the allies,the British news-portal anounced that the german soldiers there where wearing british uniforms and also that the allies were wining the war on the island and would never allow the enemy to capture that strategic point.After 5-6 days the 3rd Reich had a new island in their territory...
These were small examples of the systimatic use of propaganda.
What do you say?
