Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The Big Lie (German: große Lüge) is a propaganda technique usually used for political purposes. The expression was coined by Adolf Hitler in his 1925 book Mein Kampf, about the use of a lie so "colossal" that no one would believe that someone "could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously". Hitler believed the technique was used by Jews to blame Germany's loss in World War I on German general Erich Ludendorff, who was a prominent nationalist and anti-Semitic political leader in the Weimar Republic. The claim that Germany was not beaten in 1918 was itself called a big lie. |
