Goebbels was a vital part of the Nazi Party, its leading propagandist. He controlled the press and the arts, including the Film Industry. Goebbels beleived that through radio that he was able to construct an opinion and belief into the masses, which has been a continuous political ideology.
"The November Regime was not able to understand the full significance of the radio. Even those who claimed to have awakened the people and gotten them involved in practical politics were without exception almost blind to the possibilities of this modern method of influencing the masses." This shows how radio was under valued by previous leaders and Goebbels intended to use it to greater effect. "Only reluctantly did they think of using radio for political purposes."
He even says that it would not have been possible to gain power without having the radio. He identifies certain communication possibilities as he hopes that through these, the radio will maintain itself as a popular mdium for many years to come, or even "the test of history."
