Morale as discussed in this paper refers to "morale of the group." Morale in totalitarian and democratic countries cannot be compared without full realization of the impact of the differences in government and social organization on the group. The first point discussed concerns, therefore, the special conditions created by National Socialism on the problems of group morale. Weak spots in German morale and the countermeasures adopted by the authorities, especially morale prophylaxis in the field of propaganda, are discussed. The method of this prophylaxis is intimately related to the National Socialist doctrine of psychological management in general. Magic protection through supreme leadership and the covenant of the hated against those who want to destroy them are described as two maintrends in German psychological defense
