In the second election of 1932, Hitler would be appointed by chancellor Hindenburg, and former chancellor Von Papen as the new chancellor, who would be used as a tool to fight against the communists. When a young Dutch communist was alleged of burning down the Reichstag, Hitler took the opportunity to bully the Reichstag into passing the Enabling Act which gave him emergency powers. This gave him authority to make his own laws without the approval of the Reichstag thus giving him dictatorial powers and assuming the official title Fuhrer of the German people. By now, Hitler was too busy to devote much time to propaganda. Nevertheless, he still believed propaganda was of the utmost importance. For this assignment, he found his man in Dr. Joseph Goebbels. Goebbels was born into a strict Catholic working class family from Rheydt, and was educated at the University of Heidelberg where he earned his P.H.D. in literature. After joining the NSDAP in 1922, Goebbels found that his intellect and radical ideologies were able to blossom under the Nazi party. With his clear-sighted intelligence, he was able to quickly ascend the ranks of the Nazi party. In 1925 he was made business manager of the NSDAP in the Ruhr district and by the end of the year, was already the principal collaborator of Gregor Strasser, the leader of the social revolutionary North German Wing of the party.# On the 13th March, 1933, Dr. Goebbels was rewarded with the position of Reich Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, which gave him total control of the communications media. Like Hitler, Goebbels believed propaganda to be of the highest importance. He believed that “the effective propagandist must be the master of the art of speech, of writing, or journalism, of the poster and of the leaflet. He must have the gift to use the major methods of public opinion such as press film and radio to serve his ideas and goals, above all in the age of advancing technology… It may be good to have power based on weapons. It is better and longer lasting, however, to win and hold the heart of the nation” (Joseph Goebbels 1934). Goebbels was also know for his hatred of the Jewish religion. His complete cynicism was an expression of his own self-hatred and inferiority complexes, his overwhelming need to destroy everything that was sacred and to ignite the same feelings of rage, despair and hatred within his listeners.# When asked about his feelings, he stated: “that’s my trade. Hatred. It takes you a long way further than any other emotion.”# With his new title of Minister of Propaganda, every book or newspaper the people read, every film they saw were all under control by Goebbels who used this to blur the line between the truth
