Abstract:

In 1941, the Nazi Germany occupied Yugoslavia and ended the existence of the Yugoslav state. In Serbia, which was part of Yugoslavia during the occupation period, a occupational area was formed under the control of the Nazis, called the Serbian Military Governance Area. The Nazi-controlled military administration has intensely focused on the anti-communist propaganda activity in Serbia and planned to break the influence of the communist ideology in Serbia and to support the Serbian people with the German armies against the Soviet Union. The study aims to explain how the Nazi Germany in the anti-communist propaganda activities in Serbia presented the Communism ideology to the masses. For this purpose, the propaganda poster used by the Nazis in Serbia in the study was studied using the indicative analysis method. In the framework of the findings obtained, the Nazis through propaganda posters revealed that the Communist ideology created a terror and chaos environment in Serbia, and that in this process the Serbian people must enter into the struggle against the Communist ideology to prevent terror and chaos.
