Summary/Abstract: In the Second World War propaganda activities were blooming. All sides in the conflict made full use of all means of propaganda aimed at both domicile population and foreign countries. The First World War showed the countries which participated in the Second World War the importance of propaganda in achieving their goals. In brief, propaganda was seen as a very effective means if combined with military resources. Apart from the means of propaganda used in the First World War, mass media, such as the press and radio, were widely used. Certain features of propaganda, which allowed its use in psychological warfare, developed in this period. The Second World War was a turning point in the development of propaganda, because it became evident that apart from having certain qualities, it could also be used to achieve certain goals, which cannot be described as positive or legitimate.
