In his capacity as Gauleiter of Berlin, and thus as de facto ruler of the capital ( although there was still officially an Oberbürgermeister and city council ), Goebbels maintained constant pressure on the city ’ s large Jewish community, forcing them out of business and professional life and placing obstacles in the way of their being able to live normal lives, such as banning them from public transport and city facilities.

Like others who were later prominent in the Third Reich, Goebbels came into contact with the Nazi Party in 1923, during the campaign of resistance to the French occupation of the Ruhr.

In Berlin, Goebbels was able to give full expression to his genius for propaganda, as editor of the Berlin Nazi newspaper Der Angriff ( The Attack ) and as the author of a steady stream of Nazi posters and handbills.
