While Hitler's service in the Bavarian Army during World War I he saw the great power of War Propaganda especially as applied by the allies. He clearly understood the fact that the Central Powers especially Austria and Germany did not manage to use propaganda in a skilled manner and the Allies on the contrary used it excellently. Irrespective of which side of the war used propaganda in the most provident way, the important fact here is that Hitler had find out something that he would later apply to his Third Reich's benefit. His War propaganda expert in the World War II became Dr. Joseph Goebbles. Hitler found out that creating what mainly added up to be a lie being changed to sound as if it were the simple truth, and subsequently direct this simple lie to people which were uneducated, or at least to those he supposed had no education or most defenseless, it could let him manipulate the feelings and emotions of people to make them correspond to what he wanted. Under uneducated people Hitler understood those who had no knowledge of the subject matter in which the propaganda is contained.

This was a very effectual technique specifically during the war, because if someone could persuade the enemy that they were in fact losing the war and it does not matter if they were or not in reality, the will of those people would weaken. During the war propaganda was the idea that truly attracted Hitler's attention, propaganda was also applied by Hitler in other fields such as persuading the Jews who were on the run in Germany in the time of holocaust to come out and surrender. The lie that Hitler used in this case is that he would merely exile them out of Germany and that the concentration camps were meant only for those of them who committed crimes against the Reich.
