• PROPAGANDA BY MEANS OF ART The Nazis also
  employed art to re-awaken paganism. Ancient Greek
  forms, statues and symbols suddenly also became a
  part of German culture. Portrayals of powerful
  men and women, intended to represent the Aryan
  race, were made to resemble ancient Greek
  statues.

• Paramilitary Organizations
• Nazism made use of paramilitary organizations to
  maintain control within the party, and to squelch
  opposition to the party. Violence and terror
  fostered compliance. Among these organizations
  were the S.A. (Sturmabteilung) Stormtroopers
  (also known as "brown-shirts") were the Nazi
  paramilitary arm under Ernst Rohm. It was active
  in the battle for the streets against other
  German political parties.
• S.D. (Sicherheitsdiest) the Security Service
  under Reinhard Heydrich.
• S.S. (Schutzstaffel) Defense Corps, was an elite
  guard unit formed out of the S.A. It was under
  the command of Heinrich Himmler.
• Gestapo (Geheime Staatpolizeil) the Secret State
  Police, which was formed in 1933.
• Nazism also placed an emphasis on sports and
  paramilitary activities for youth, the massive
  use of propaganda (controlled by Joseph Goebbels)
  to glorify the state, and the submission of all
  decisions to the supreme leader (FÅhrer) Adolf
  Hitler.
