Hitler focused his propaganda against the Versailles Treaty, the "November criminals," the Marxists and the visible, internal enemy No. 1, the "Jew," who was responsible for all Germany's domestic problems. In the twenty-five-point programme of the NSDAP announced on 24 February 1920, the exclusion of the Jews from the Volk community, the myth of Aryan race supremacy and extreme nationalism were combined with "socialistic" ideas of profit-sharing and nationalization inspired by ideologues like Gottfried Feder. Hitler's first written utterance on political questions dating from this period emphasized that what he called "the anti-Semitism of reason" must lead "to the systematic combating and elimination of Jewish privileges. Its ultimate goal must implacably be the total removal of the Jews."

Just by simply telling lies like politicians do today.
He eventually foun it so successful that he had a Minister for Propaganda, Joseph Goebels.
Goebels said that a lie told once remains a lie but a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth.
This is the way most governments work today.
There was propaganda long before Hitler, he just raised it to a new level

Germany was in a state of depression due to World War I. There seemed to be no way out. What he did was use propaganda to unite germany. He turned a small and very unknown party (the National Socialist German Workers Party NSDAP aka Nazi Party) into a very seemingly patriotic party and through this used the propaganda to blame the Jews for the financial state of the country. He used the newspapers, and film. He created a special department to organize the propaganda very carefully. See if you can watch "Triumph of the Will" by Leni Riefenstahl. She was his filmmaker. Its very patriotic and you can see why people were pulled in. He didnt just go out and say "hey germany, lets commit mass murder, who's with me?"

Propaganda has been around longer than Hitler, my friend. It may not have meant necessarily what it means today, but it has been around for a couple of hundred years at the very least.

He took over as leader of the NSDAP, which was a small worker party in Germany. He began by buying a stamp with the parties name on it. They didn't even have a personalized stamp for letters they mailed out. I believe his speeches were what really drew attention to the budding group.
