description: Adolf Hitler advocated total control of the press for many years
 before he was elected Führer. Almost immediately after he assumed power in
 1932, Hitler began writing new laws and regulations that totally exorcised all
 freedoms from the German press. This study follows the path that Hitler took
 to control the German press from 1920 until the end of World War II. It
 utilized translations of documents and statements by men whom Hitler appointed
 to control the press and books written by experts in the fields of
 communications as well as men who prosecuted Nazi war criminals after World
 War II. The study found that the control of the press was indeed a very
 necessary ingredient in Hitler's climb to power and remained crucial during
 his reign as Führer.
