More than half a century has passed since the end of the Second World War, but interest in its events and characters does not fade. The past continues to excite us, and this is a sure sign that not all the lessons taught by history have been learned. The speeches of Joseph Goebbels, the second most important figure (after Hitler) of the Nazi state, provided here help to better understand the meaning of the actions of modern politicians and the working methods of modern media. Crowds of people gathered for his speeches. His speeches influenced millions of Germans. They believed him even when he told a deliberate lie. He is the only one of the leaders of the Third Reich who did not lose a single battle. In his propaganda war, he remained victorious and therefore the Germans continued to fight, even when Berlin was surrounded by troops. Many journalists and politicians who do not consider it possible to use the spiritual heritage of Goebbels, nevertheless highly value his oratory skills and ability to manipulate the mood of the “crowd”, willingly use his “discoveries” and techniques in dealing with the masses.
