'''Paul Joseph Goebbels''' ({{IPA|de|ˈpaʊ̯l ˈjoːzɛf ˈɡœbl̩s|lang|De-Paul Joseph Goebbels.oga}}; 29 October 1897 – 1 May 1945) was a German
Goebbels, who aspired to be an author, obtained a doctorate in philology from the [[University of Heidelberg]] in 1921. He joined the Nazi Party in 1924, and worked with [[Gregor Strasser]] in its northern branch. He was appointed ''Gauleiter'' of Berlin in 1926, where he began to take an interest in the use of propaganda to promote the party and its programme. After the [[Adolf Hitler's rise to power|Nazis came to power]] in 1933, Goebbels's Propaganda Ministry quickly gained control over the news media, arts and information in [[Nazi Germany]]. He was particularly adept at using the relatively new media of radio and film for propaganda purposes. Topics for party propaganda included antisemitism, attacks on Christian churches, and (after the start of the [[Second World War]]) attempts to shape morale.
