Historical person
1897–1945
Joseph Goebbels was the Nazi propaganda minister and one of Adolf Hitler’s closest political allies. He shaped the regime’s public messaging, antisemitic agitation and mobilisation of German society during the Second World War.
In Rory Clements’s Nemesis, the sinking of the passenger liner Athenia becomes the centre of a propaganda struggle after Joseph Goebbels claims that Britain destroyed the ship to draw the United States into the conflict. In Rory Clements’s Evil in High Places, her relationship with Joseph Goebbels makes the case politically dangerous from the outset and ensures that powerful men expect a rapid, convenient result. Other novels featuring Joseph Goebbels include Simon Scarrow’s A Death in Berlin.
