| Summary: | The purpose of this article is to reconstruct the propaganda image of German
Geopolitik and its most prominent representative Karl Haushofer in the 1943 American
documentary "Plan for Destruction." There were several main propaganda narratives:
first, the propaganda representation of Geopolitik and Haushofer was a deliberate
mixture of facts and falsifications to shape its negative image. Second, geopolitics was
demonized by portraying it as the basis of the Nazi secret plan for world conquest,
permanently linking geopolitics with National Socialism to discredit it. Third, it falsely
attributed to K. Haushofer the authorship of this plan and the dominant influence on
the Third Reich's foreign policy. The film was intended for domestic audiences, while its
purpose was to heighten fear among viewers and to arouse anger and hatred, serving to
mobilize them to fight. |
