Documentary: The Goebbels Experiment (2005)
This lengthy documentary looks into the mind of the Reich Minister of Propaganda of Nazi Germany. The entire documentary is based on extracts from his diaries, which were found soon after the war ended. What you really have to look for when you're watching is how the Nazis used propaganda in order to amass incredible power within Germany.

The way they used propaganda was scary effective. They produced folm after film of Hitler portraying him as a msssiah and demonizing the rest of the world.
Yup, and the people were especially susceptible to it after the poverty from the first World War
The brilliance of Leni Riefenstahl and Joseph Goebbels cannot be under-stated. They were really what brought the Third Reich into such power; Hitler was just their star.
