Goals Quote by Joseph Goebbels
““This is the secret of propaganda: He, who is the target of propaganda, should be completely immersed in the ideas of propaganda, without him ever noticing, that he is being immersed. Das ist das Geheimnis der Propaganda: Den, den die Propaganda fassen will, ganz mit den Ideen der Propaganda zu durchtränken, ohne dass er überhaupt merkt, dass er durchtränkt wird.””
