Propaganda was an important part of the war effort. It helped people to get motivated to fight for their country and to help in the factories to build more war machines. When everybody helped in the factories it made a big difference and they were able to produce many war goods and produce them quickly. All of the countries involved in WWII had war propaganda including propaganda that was against the enemies of those certain countries. This propaganda was countered by more propaganda and retaliation from Germany.
