Absolutely. Posters helped to recruit millions of Germans for the Wehrmacht (German Army), but most effective perhaps, was anti-semitic Propaganda. In this instance, I'll use the book Der Giftpilz.
Written by Julius Streicher in 1938, this short novel taught children - yes, young Germans - that Jews were dangerous by likening them to an attractive albeit deadly mushroom. One of the final chapters in the book even blamed them for the death of Jesus Christ (please see the Related Question below for more on that). Goebbels (Hitler's minister of Propaganda) commissioned Streicher to write the book so that the next generations of Germans would be as anti-semitic as their forefathers.

Ross"Under the brilliant leadership of Dr. Joseph Goebbels, the master of political propaganda, the neglected weapon of German politics became a creative art."
He succeeded in bringing order to the most difficult of all areas of public life, culture, in the form of the Reich Chamber of Culture.
The Reich Chamber of Culture includes the Reich Chamber of Film, the Reich Chamber of the Visual Arts, the Reich Chamber of Theater, the Reich Chamber of Radio, the Reich Chamber of the Press, the Reich Chamber of Music, and the Reich Chamber of Literature.
In these chambers, all those German creators of culture are united in a rational manner and without unnecessary compulsion in the place where they can most effectively work for cultural reconstruction.
