Paul Joseph Goebbels, a Nazi propaganda minister, was born in 1897 in Rheydt, Germany. Despite his early talent in writing and oratory, he faced numerous personal challenges, including a disability that prevented him from serving in the military. He became radicalized and joined the Nazi Party in the 1920s, eventually rising to prominence due to his exceptional oratory skills. As the head of the Ministry of Propaganda, he effectively used media to promote Nazi ideology and incite hatred against Jews and allies during World War II. After Hitler's suicide, Goebbels briefly became Chancellor before he and his family committed suicide in 1945. His propaganda techniques remain influential in understanding manipulation and media control. Teljes cikk (24.hu)
