When speaking about himsel, f he always indirectly attaches some positive attribute. He gives positive images of Germany, the Reich and himself, and he creates negative emotions when speaking of the enemy and uses reference like “ them” or “ they”.

He states that neighboring countries need Germany’s guidance and help, and that he only wants peace. He praises the Reich and the German people, stating how surperior they are. He never comes right out and says that, “ Jews are evil, therfore democaracy is evil” it is just implied. He was very skillful at developing hatred to certain groups.
