Goebbels, War, and Propaganda:
The Media Logic of the 'Third Reich'

GHIL in cooperation with LSe and the Gerda Henkel Stiftung

The notorious speech of the German Minister for Propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, in the Sportpalast on 18 February 1943 has been extensively studied by historians. In this lecture, it is analyzed in a slightly different way: as an example that illustrates problems Goebbels had with the media logic of the 'Third Reich'.
