Paul Joseph Goebbels was a German politician and philologist who was the Gauleiter of Berlin, chief propagandist for the Nazi Party, and then Reich Minister of Propaganda from 1933 until his suicide in 1945. He was one of Adolf Hitler's closest and most devoted followers and was known for his skills in public speaking and his extreme antisemitism which was evident in his publicly voiced views. He advocated for progressively harsher discrimination, including the extermination of Jews and other groups in the Holocaust.
![“Should the German people lay down their arms, the Soviets... would occupy all eastern and south-eastern Europe, together with the greater part of the [German] Reich. All over this territory, which would be of an enormous extent, an iron curtain would at once descend.” quote by Joseph Goebbels](https://sms4smile.com/q/img-quotes/50c/joseph-goebbels-4054_arms_should-the-german-people-lay-down-their_3220897.jpg)
![“One can only repeat about air warfare: we are in a position of almost hopeless inferiority and must grin and bear it as we take the blows from the English and the Americans. [Germans in the bombed cities] are gradually beginning to lose their courage. Hell like that is hard to bear for any length…” quote by Joseph Goebbels](https://sms4smile.com/q/img-quotes/d75/joseph-goebbels-4054_air_one-can-only-repeat-about-air-warfare-we_1021031.jpg)
