Threatening Scare Tactics
This is an instructional poster that showed Hitler’s beliefs about Germany going downhill. It was displayed alongside a series of posters to teach kids about eugenics. The title reads People’s Degeneration = People’s Death, which is a pseudoscientific idea that theorized that Germany was weakened by people moving to the countryside. Under the practice of eugenics, controlled breeding of the population helps reduce undesirable heritable characteristics. If people moved to the country, Hitler couldn’t control their actions as easily. Under the Nazi party, complete control of every citizen was absolutely necessary to maintain order and breed a massive Aryan Army for Hitler’s control of the free world.
