Propaganda was one of the most important elements in the shaping and development of the national socialist ideology. It was such an important element that the Nazi government even had a special ministry for propaganda, led by Joseph Goebbels, who went down in history as one of the leaders of the criminal national socialist regime and the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP). By using the method of qualitative content analysis of both historical and scientific sources from the scientific area of communication and the scientific paper on the topic of „The role of propaganda in the rise of national socialism“ we will provide an insight into the important external and internal political events. This paper will also analyze and define propaganda as a multidimensional phenomenon and show its ability to influence the process of forming opinions, the possibility of biological influence on the consumers of the propaganda message, its socio-psychological and socio-cultural dimension as well as its political and economic dimension. Based on the multidimensional approach in defining propaganda, this paper will provide conclusions on the importance of elements of space, time, technology and human action in the process of planning and executing propaganda plan, as well as emphasize the important conclusions regarding the dangers and harmful effects that propaganda can have in the time of technological development in the 21st century.
