All of the following statements about propaganda are TRUE except: A. It may be factual, exaggerated, or completely deceptive. B. It was used by both the US and Nazi Germany during WWII. C. It was always in a poster format during WWII. D. It was used to convince Americans to ration, join the armed forces, and buy war bonds.

Propaganda was a widely used tecnique during WWII, specially by the nazis and by the US goverment, to convince the public opinion of the benefits of their practices. In the case of the US, for example, propaganda encouraged citizens to bear rationings, to join the armed forces or ti buy bonds to provide funding for the war activities. Of course, sometimes the messages conveyed were exaggerated or dishonest.

The false statement therefore is related to the format of that propaganda. It was not limited to posters, it also involved mass media such as TV, radio, newspapers, etc.

For example, in nazi Germany, Goebbels, the minister of Propaganda delivered a radio to every German through which citizens could only tune in the station where the goverment included their propaganda in audio format.
