War propaganda in Vojvodina during World War II

Abstract

During the Second World War, war propaganda was characterized by the use of mass media such as films, radio, newspapers and posters, which were used as a special type of weapons in the war. At the same time, the propaganda included the national public and the enemy, and it was used by all warring parties. War propaganda techniques and tools were also used in the territory of Yugoslavia, where their use can be considered at a local level. This paper describes the specifics of war propaganda in three occupation zones of Vojvodina, as well as the propaganda used by the anti-fascist Partisan movement. The common characteristic of all these propaganda activities is that they were viewed as an effective means of achieving war goals.
