Goebbels (Paul Joseph)

Paul Joseph Goebbels (1897-1945) was a German Nazi politician and Reich Minister of Propaganda in Adolf Hitler's government. As the head of the Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, Goebbels was instrumental in presenting a carefully crafted image of the Nazi regime to the public. Through well-crafted speeches and propaganda campaigns, Goebbels helped ramp up domestic support for Hitler's authoritarian leadership, militaristic nationalism, and the persecution and genocide of Jews and other minority groups during the Holocaust. He remained fiercely loyal to Hitler until the end. [ClaudeAI, edited]
