This video shows us a sample of propaganda in a different form of media. Propaganda was generally seen as posters but in this example we see propaganda as a short movie. The movie shows us a scene of thunderstorm followed by a large beast with a German helmet (helmot) (0:00 – 0:27). The beast is crushing the earth which is suggesting to those of age that if we do not join the war, soon the German war troupe will destruct earth. This is followed by a piece of persuasive text, “Today the German Monster threatens the World with Bloodshed Slavery and Death”.
There was also an interview of Albert Powis (US Marines 1917 – 1918) and Karl-Hedding Oldekop (German Infantry 1914 – 1918) who talks about propaganda.
