"With the year 1915 enemy propaganda began in our country, after 1916 it became more and more intensive till finally, at the beginning of the year 1918, it swelled to a positive flood."2 Hitler, a soldier of World War I, had experienced first hand the power of propaganda during the war. With the failure of Germany to counter-act the Allied propaganda, Hitler noted, "The army gradually learned to think as the enemy wanted it to."3
