He was at least good at it.
His chief propagandist Joseph Goebbels was really good. Goebbels made propaganda that was way subtler than Hitlers. Nazi cinema created expensive movies under Goebbels until the end. Nobody sees them today but they are very subtle and clever in a way they build a sentiment. Not at all like the short clips they show you.

- nabla9 4y agoIf you want to see a American movie that has similar feel to the Nazi wartime propaganda movies, watch "Acto of Valor" (2012) https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1591479/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1591479/ It's Navy Seal action movie, and not a very good movie (propaganda rarely is) but it has the "dark undertone" where individuals, enemies, heroism, duty and sacrifice are presented in the same way as it was in the Nazi propaganda.
