Nazi Propaganda

This picture represents a truck full of people trying to advertise their views traveling through a city. The big message on their truck translates to "We don't admit any sabotage of the constructive work of Hitler." The picture was taken in 1935. The propaganda is actually in this case on the truck itself. People put this message on their truck to deny working against Hitler. This message promotes working for and with Hitler and the Nazi movement. The picture on the truck looks to show diversity in people, especially in terms of religion. I'm not quite sure as to the reason this is displayed on the truck, but it could be to give examples of what people should be persecuted. Although I am not sure about what the particular stereotypes of different religions were at the time, the picture on the truck is most likely displaying the stereotypical examples of people in different religions. This is an example of not only the propaganda posters during this time, but also the other ways people advertised their beliefs.
