Photographs and Posters

Consdierbale use was also made of photographs. Hitler had an official photographer named Henrich Hoffman who ensured Key Images were carefully staged. Hitler would often practice poses before the camera, a series of photographs were widely reproduced appearing on postcatrds and cigarette packets. The aim of these photos and posters was to appeal to every minority of the German people (ranging from the working class to Industrialists) and to help portray Hitler as a figure who was leading the masses of Germany away from the downfalls and into a new light. To help build national pride in Germany and in turn making the Nazi Party seem like the ideal fit. This meant the Nazi party could somewhat advertise their views and make them widespread. This allowed german people to become 'fans' of the party without knowing it through the use of positive photographs and posters.
