This would fulfill the use of images one of the rhetorical strategies, where it would be “photographic but something far more persuasive, a transformation of how we see wand what we pay attention too” (Porter, 253) because, as it is being stated, it is much more affected to show an image that shows something rather than using words to send an entire argument or message across to an audience.

Nazi Propaganda is recognised as an essential part in the advancement of the Nazi Party before and during their reign in Germany, and their attempt to expand to wider Europe. Nazi Propaganda appeared in many forms during their tenure, for example, books, textbooks, art, magazines, newspapers, photography, posters, radio and of course film, among many others.
