World War II Public Relations

World War II was a time of propaganda. Nowadays, the word "propaganda" has a negative connotation; we relate it to the words "misleading," "false," and "biased." However, in those days the term could quite realistically be connected with the idea of public relations: it was a means of shaping public opinion through a variety of ways. Admittedly, some of those ways were less than honest, but the idea was the same. This site has several press releases that were written during World War II. They illustrate the same ideas and practices that we use today.
