Propaganda maps


Propaganda maps have misleading and biased information that is designed to sway the audience to believe a particular thing to be true. The map shown of hitler is not your stereotypical "map" but like we discussed in the beginning of the semester, pictures are maps as well. It is propaganda because the german letters below say (roughly) "he loves germany" and have a bird above his head to represent peace, and the clouds opening up behind him, almost giving him a jesus like disposition. We all know this was completely false.
