Propaganda – Pictures as Weapons
Propaganda makes its first major appearance in the First World War. A completely new weapon, recruiting war volunteers and mobilizing the population at home with vivid pictures and slogans. In addition to posters, leaflets, patriotic books and songs, films and photographs are now used as propaganda material. They conjure up the heroism of their troops and condense old stereotypes into brutal images of the enemy. German atrocities in Belgium and northern France solidify the motif of the "ugly German", the "Hun" and "barbarian" who murderously falls upon Europe. German propaganda, on the other hand, relies on the staging of the Germans as a superior, cultural race, standing justly against its enemies.
