The article analyses the operations of Nazi propaganda during Hitler’s rise to power. In-depth information is provided regarding the circumstances in Germany following the First World War, when the Nazis realised they could fabricate a narrative about their country’s failure in the conflict, which they mostly blamed on Jews and socialists. This myth became one of the foundations of the Nazi movement. By regularly repeating the same narrative, the Nazi leadership sought to incite animosity in the populace towards the Jews and the old political elites while simultaneously portraying themselves as the antithesis of this. The myth was revived at the end of World War II, when the Nazis vowed that the capitulation of 1918 would not be repeated.
