He was an absolute master of propaganda. The best / worst we’ve ever seen to the best of my knowledge. Evil genius doesn’t even scratch the surface.
All the way through the 1920’s and 30’s he masterfully moved public opinion in Germany, shutting down the free press, hosting the Olympics while convincing the West that Germany just wanted peace, nudging the populous towards war, the works.
Edit: thankfully for us all he recorded it in diaries that survived. He was a true believer. Hitler would never have achieved what he did without Goebbels. Others played pivotal roles but fuck me that pair were something.

I know little of it, but thought Speer was the designer of propaganda. The eagle and such.
