"Hitler's dictatorship differed in one fundamental point from all its predecessors in history. His was the first dictatorship in the present period of modern technical development, a dictatorship which made complete use of all technical means in a perfect manner for the domination of its own nation.

Through technical devices such as radio and loudspeaker 80 million people were deprived of independent thought. It was thereby possible to subject them to the will of one man." - Albert Speer's final testimony at Nuremberg war trials. https://avalon.law.yale.edu/imt/08-31-46.asp#:~:text=Hitler%27s%20dictatorship%20differed%20in%20one%20fundamental%20point%20from%20all%20its%20predecessors%20in%20history.%20His%20was%20the%20first%20dictatorship%20in%20the%20present%20period%20of%20modern%20technical%20development%2C%20a%20dictatorship%20which%20made%20complete%20use%20of%20all%20technical%20means%20in%20a%20perfect%20manner%20for%20the%20domination%20of%20its%20own%20nation
