Abstract
Nazi propaganda differed from the GDR's in that it was home‐grown rather than imposed from the outside, downplayed theory, preferred emotion to reason, claimed a narrower audience, was better accepted and did not have the time and perhaps the capacity to develop as thorough a propaganda system. Both systems established central control of the media, favored oral agitation, discouraged every expression of significant dissent, involved citizens in a frenetic stream of activity, maintained a balance between fear and propaganda, and ultimately accepted submissive adherence rather than passionate commitment to their ideologies.
