An agency or ministry of propaganda is a part of the government that is in charge of coordinating propaganda, and which bears a name which describes this function. Though governments routinely engage in propaganda, propaganda ministries are exceedingly rare, especially in the years since World War II, after which the term "propaganda" took on its negative connotation. The term is occasionally used as a political epithet to sling mud at political opponents. U.S. propaganda poster from WWII depicting a Nazi stabbing a Bible. ...

Propaganda within Nazi Germany was taken to a new and frequently perverse level.
Propaganda is the art of persuasion - persuading others that your 'side of the story' is correct.
Propaganda might take the form of persuading others that your military might is too great to be challenged; that your political might within a nation is too great or popular to challenge etc. In Nazi Germany, Dr Joseph Goebbels was in charge of propaganda.
Propaganda does not, therefore, need to rack its brains with regard to the importance of every individual instructed by it, with regard to his ability, capacity, and understanding, or character, while the organisation must carefully gather from the mass of these elements those who really make possible the victory of the movement.
Propaganda works on the general public from the standpoint of an idea and makes them ripe for the victory of this idea, while the organisation achieves victory by the persistent, organic, and militant union of those supporters who seem willing and able to carry on the fight for victory.
The second task of propaganda is the disruption of the existing state of affairs and the permeation of this state of affairs with the new doctrine, while the second task of organisation must be the struggle for power, thus to achieve the final success of the doctrine.
