This book demonstrates how people were kept ignorant by censorship
and indoctrinated by propaganda. Censorship suppressed all
information that criticized the army and government, that might
trouble the population or weaken its morale. Propaganda at home
emphasized the superiority of the fatherland, explained setbacks by
blaming scapegoats, vilified and ridiculed the enemy, warned of the
disastrous consequences of defeat and extolled duty and sacrifice.
The propaganda message also infiltrated entertainment and the
visual arts. Abroad it aimed to demoralize enemy troops and stir up
unrest among national minorities and other marginalized groups. The
many illustrations and organograms provide a clear visual
demonstration of Demm's argument.
