By using the radio as a propaganda tool the Nazi Party did succeed in gaining more votes which is not surprising as from 1933 onwards it would have been heavily biased towards the Nazi Party’s views. Anti-Semitic propaganda began airing as soon as the Nazi’s took control of broadcasting but it wasn’t the party’s main focus although Anti-Semitic broadcasts did start to increase for a while after the Nuremberg Laws were put into place in 1935 which meant Jews were no longer allowed to be German citizens and were also prohibited from marrying or having a sexual relationship with non-Jews.Maja Adena, Ruben Enikolopov, Maria Petrova, Veronica Santarosa, & Ekaterina Zhuravskaya, ‘Radio and the Rise of the Nazis in Prewar Germany’, Quarterly Journal of Economics, 130, 4, (2015), p, 1898 Anti-Semitic propaganda died down over the next two years until a German diplomat was killed by a man named Herschel Gryszpan, who happened to be Jewish. From the beginning of 1939, Anti-Semitic messages were constantly broadcast with the aim of spreading the message that there was a very real and dangerous Jewish conspiracy against the German people.Maja Adena, Ruben Enikolopov, Maria Petrova, Veronica Santarosa, & Ekaterina Zhuravskaya, ‘Radio and the Rise of the Nazis in Prewar Germany’, Quarterly Journal of Economics, 130, 4, (2015), p, 1898. It is important to note that Nazi propaganda was only ever really successful if its audience already inclined to agree with the propaganda message.
