Although
the Animal Farm character Napoleon is
based off of Joseph Stalin he still shares a number of similar traits as the notorious
German dictator Adolf Hitler. They are similar in their strong ambition for
power, their will do anything to make them superior to others and most
importantly their successful use of propaganda. Napoleon first appealed to the
animals to trick them and then he used his Propaganda to get the animals to
succumb to his thoughts and what he wanted for the farm. He assumed the place
as a leader, ran out Snowball and brainwashed the animals with thoughts of
rebellion and hopes of Sugar Candy Mountain. No one challenged his words
because he had vicious dogs that would attack if they showed any type of
opinion. Adolf Hitler once said “By the skillful and sustained use of
propaganda, one could make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely
wretched life as paradise.” http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/a/adolfhitle385640.html#wLWtcqg3YLsLl4if.99 Which
means with good use of propaganda he can make anyone believe anything, like he
did to the Jews in the holocaust. Hitler was a great speaker, and he also said “Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually
they will believe it.” according to
http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/quotes/a/adolfhitle385640.html#wLWtcqg3YLsLl4if.99 and he used his propaganda to rise to power in Germany in
1933. With the help of the Nazi Party. He talked his way into the office and by
strong use of propaganda Hitler was able to attract the
attention of the public and gain support from many German people.
