At the same time, the National Socialist German Workers' Party used a variety of election posters as a form of propaganda. Posters became an effective propaganda tool due to their low cost and quick production. The NSDAP was able to create thousands of posters at a high rate and put them up across Germany. Creating other propaganda tools such as newspapers, pamphlets and leaflets took a long time. Early NSDAP posters include vivid illustrations of deluded members and political figures including Adolf Hitler. An election poster from the 1929 Saxon campaign reads: “Two million dead. Did they die in vain? Never! Soldiers at the front! Adolf Hitler is showing you the way!” The claim is that Hitler will save Germany from losing the First World War. This poster depicts a grieving soldier who seems to have lost all sense of hope. It also illustrates colorless colors to provide a painful sensation. A second poster consists of the November 1932 elections. The text: “Papen is crippling the economy! Away with him and his program for the ruling class! Come to Hitler!” Examples of these posters were used to arouse the anger and hatred of the German people against the Weimar Republic regarding its response to the First World War. Several NSDAP posters were used to represent unification, nationalism and anti-Semitism. Regarding unification, election posters consisted of careful and controlled messages used to persuade the German people to vote or join the National Socialist German Workers' Party. These Nazi propagandists used a variety of strategies, including portraying certain beliefs of a group or party and spreading them throughout Germany. They used unification to return Germany to its former… middle of paper… Nazi insignia. The hundreds of NSDAP gather in a large crowd greeting political figures followed by marching and greetings. This film was mainly used to promote the composure and size of the party. The film consists of hundreds of bullshit and NSDAP members dressed in local uniform parading and saluting NSDAP officials while carrying Nazi flags and playing music. Although a silent film, these early types of films became very important in symbolizing the Nazi Party. A second film titled Der Sieg des Glaubens (English: Victory of Faith) (1933) is based on a Nazi conference in which it shows a large amount of NSDAP workers listening to Hitler give a speech. It depicts a large crowd cheering and saluting Hitler and is used to demonstrate the power of the NSDAP and to celebrate its victory. He played a leading role in Nazi propaganda
