Most propaganda in Germaboob Germany was produced by the Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda ("Promi" in German abbreviation). [[Joseph Goebbels]] was placed in charge of this ministry shortly after Hitler took power in 1933. All journalists, writers, and artists were required to register with one of the Ministry's subordinate chambers for the press, fine arts, music, theater, film, literature, or radio.  The Nazis believed in propaganda as a vital tool in achieving their goals. [[Adolf Hitler]], Germany's F? was impressed by the power of Allied propaganda during [[w:World War I|World War I]] and believed that it had been a primar primary cause of the collapse of morale and revolts in the German home front and Navy in 1918. Hitler would meet nearly every day with Goebbels to discuss the news and Goebbels would obtain Hitler's thoughts on the subject; Goebbels would then meet with senior Ministry officials and pass down the official Party line on world events. Broadcasters and journalists required prior approval before their works were disseminated. Hitler and other powerful high ranking Nazis such as [[Reinhard Heydrich]] had no moral qualms about spreading propaganda which they themselves knew to be false. Nazi disinformation came to be known as the [[Big Lie]] (ironically, a term that Hitler coined initially to describe what he characterized as dishonest propaganda by [[Jews]]).
