Nazi Germany's manipulation of culture is explored through its use of literature, philosophy, and the arts as propaganda tools. David B. Dennis highlights how the regime viewed itself as the pinnacle of Western civilization, using the Völkischer Beobachter to distort history and aesthetics to promote its authoritarian and anti-Semitic ideology. The book examines the regime's portrayal of influential figures, ranging from German icons like Luther and Beethoven to renowned figures like Socrates and Michelangelo, revealing its efforts to reshape the German psyche.
