HISTORIC INTERNATIONAL PRESS CORPS
AGENDA: Polarisation in Media and its role in the spread of Propaganda in Pre-War Nazi Germany
Germany, 1933. A nation bruised by the Treaty of Versailles, reeling from economic collapse, and drowning in ideological chaos stands at a pivotal crossroads. Amid the ashes of the Weimar Republic, Adolf Hitler has just been appointed Chancellor. The streets of Berlin echo with unrest, newspapers align themselves with radical dogma, and the truth begins to fracture under the weight of propaganda.
In a state where political dissent is vilified and nationalism is weaponized, the press becomes both a tool and a target. Polarisation deepens—not just in the Reichstag, but in every home, headline, and heartbeat.
As the Historic International Press Corps convenes in early 1933, you are not merely reporters; you are witnesses to the birth of a regime that will redefine tyranny. Will you toe the line, submit to state control, and spread the Führer’s vision? Or will you resist, risking censorship, exile or worse in pursuit of truth?
Welcome to a press room on the edge of fascism.
History remembers both those who wrote it and those who watched in silence. Choose your words-and your side-with caution
