What does this source reveal of NAZI ideology in the 1930s?“Children, What Do You Know of the Führer?” 1930’s NAZI Propaganda Poster Author Date Audience Motive Perspective Reliability UsefulnessThis Nazi poster is an advertisement for a children's book by S Morgenroth and M. Schmidt, published by the Franz Schneider Company in the 1930’s and reveals a great deal about Nazi ideology. Intended for an audience of German youth and school children, the poster aims to depict Hitler as a friendly, paternal figure who German children can trust and look up to. The question : “Children what do you know of the fuhrer?” infers that he is a figure of importance and that it’s imperative that children learn all they can about him. It highlights the German perspective of Hitler as a God-like figure, whose power was very much dependent upon the German population’s adoration for him as an infallible leader. The poster is a typical example of Hitler’s program to reshape German minds, using propaganda ?to persuade the German people that he was the answer to all their problems. Even though there is little truth in the poster, it is reliable and useful in shedding light upon the way propaganda was used to influence the German people. ................
