The Franklin D. Roosevelt wasn't the only person that used propaganda to manipulate the people into the war. Like Franklin D. Roosevelt, Hitler used propaganda to not only become the leader of Germany but also to motivate the people to hate a variety of different people. But for Hitler it was much easier due to the fact that the people were less educated in Germany due to the effects of WW1 as well as the Great Depression on the economy of Germany. Hitler had used his power of public communication, he would do very dramatic gestures while giving his speeches, he created dramatic scenes where he was always the hero in it. Hitler had several trainings to improve his communication skills , and he basically played on emotions of the people, using hatred anger and love all in his favor, and aroused the deeper emotions. On top of that he used propaganda to make the people hate everyone and to be motivated for war, there are several types of propaganda all which were used by Hitler :
1. Bandwagon - Tries to persuade everyone to join and do the same thing.
2. Loaded Words - Using words with strong emotional associations.
3. Plain Folks - Suggesting something is practical and a good value for ordinary people.
4. Glittering Generality - Using words so strongly positive in emotional content that just hearing them makes you feel good. The words express a positive meaning without actually giving a guarantee.
5. Transfer - Transferring good looks, feelings, or ideas to the person who the propaganda is meant to influence. Suggests the positive qualities to be associated with the product and the user.
6. Testimonial - Using a famous person to endorce the product.
7. Repetition - Using the product name or a keyword or phrase over and over.
