Propaganda was mainly to promote patriotism and get people into spirit of the war. There were many posters in America showing that the Nazis were evil and should be stopped. In Germany there was also propaganda to get the people to persecute the Jewish people. The propaganda was to support the idea that everyone could be involved. The posters of Rosie the Riveter are a great example to show that it was a well liked idea that women could work on things like putting together planes and automobiles while the men were off fighting. Other posters promoted the idea of secrecy or not talking about the troops to save their lives. One poster had a picture of a woman on a telephone chatting away and it said that because she talked hundreds of soldiers died.
Propaganda played a significant role in shaping public opinion, boosting morale, and demonizing the enemy during World War II. It helped mobilize support for the war effort, encouraged solidarity among civilians and soldiers, and contributed to the dehumanization of the opposing side. By controlling information and shaping perceptions, propaganda influenced attitudes and behaviors that ultimately impacted the outcome of the war.
The governments of countries all over the world used propaganda. It caused people to feel different emotions that appealed to them in particular. For example, American parents who would see a propaganda poster that showed a wicked Hitler grabbing for children( yes there were posters like this) would feel inclined to help by enlisting or buying war bonds. Other posters had very patriotic themes that would make young men want to fight. These kind of posters, rather than scaring the public, would make people feel patriotic. Other propaganda aimed at young men could be posters showing the humiliation that they would face when they didn't fight. Posters were used to evoke emotions, and create support. German propaganda portrayed Jews as kidnappers and swindlers, while American propaganda used Uncle Sam, England used John Bull. All in all, propaganda caused soldiers to fight and people to support the war. Without it, the war would have been much smaller.
Propaganda was used on domestic populations to alter their mindset towards the opposing faction, to convince them to fight harder, or directed to enemy populations to try to weaken their resolve. Examples of this are pamphlets and radio (e.g. Lord Hawhaw and Tokyo Rose) and film media (see "the Great Dictator, for example)
If you mean propaganda posters, they encouraged people to do things that the government wanted like rationing, let your child be evacuated, join the army(this was very rare though), plant your own food and for women to join the women's army which, by the way was not a proper army which fought in the war! These helped Britain to improvise with the current situation and stay strong; not to show Germany how much we/they were suffering as a result of the war.
Propaganda posters have been used throughout history, but they were particularly prominent during times of war, such as World War I and World War II. They were used to promote patriotism, support for the war effort, and demonize the enemy.
Propaganda in World War II was used by countries to shape public opinion, boost morale, and demonize the enemy. It portrayed leaders and military actions in a favorable light and spread misinformation to manipulate citizens. The impact of propaganda was significant in influencing public perception and rallying support for the war effort.
The U.S. propaganda machine during World War II was known as the Office of War Information (OWI). This agency was responsible for coordinating and disseminating propaganda to support the war effort through various media channels.
The war of propaganda between the U.S. and the Soviet Union after World War II is often referred to as the Cold War. It was a period of geopolitical tension and ideological rivalry between the two superpowers, marked by propaganda, military build-up, and espionage, without direct military conflict.
The Institute for Propaganda Analysis ceased operation in 1942 at the end of World War II. Its work was no longer needed as the war came to a close and its focus on analyzing propaganda became less relevant.

The effect that the Gestapo had on the outcome of World War 2 was fear of the police force in Germany. The Gestapo had power to hunt out those that were considered a threat to Nazi Germany that included Jehovah Witness, Jews and Communists or anyone else that challenged the Nazi Party.
