During World War I, which ended with Germany's defeat, Adolf Hitler observed the power of propaganda and understood how it could be used to influence the masses. When the seeds of Nazi ideology were being sown, propaganda became a key method for its dissemination, and the propaganda techniques employed under the leadership of Josef Goebbels played an important role in the functioning of the NSDAP both before and after coming to power. Therefore, this study aims to examine the propaganda methods used during Goebbels' ministry. Firstly, the concept of propaganda is clarified in terms of its meaning and then the use of propaganda elements in the continuation of National Socialism ideology is discussed. The purpose of this study is to examine the functional and content-related aspects of the propaganda methods implemented during Goebbels' tenure. The study first provides clarity on the concept of propaganda in order to ensure its coherence, and then focuses on the visual publishing industry and education sector in which Nazi propaganda elements played a key role in sustaining the National Socialism ideology. Both the theoretical and practical aspects of propaganda in these two fields are examined in the study.
