Both sides were just as dependent on propaganda. British newspapers from 1939-1945 were full of stories like 'German soldier rapes nun on table' (as if the table made it worse). Both sides launched campaigns of misinformation to attack the enemy.
It still happens today, with nonsense stories about Iraq's WMD, or Iraq's minister of information standing in front of ruined buildings, claiming the US forces were being driven back.
