Haven't much time for a long reply now, just two things:
the main propaganda newspaper was "Der Stürmer"
all the radio propaganda was aired on one channel, which was already fixed at the mass radio device the "Volksempfänger". But with some modifications, it was also possible to listen to the BBC with it.
"The proletariat, when it seizes power [...] should and must at once undertake socialist measures in the most energetic, unyielding and unhesitant fashion, in other words, exercise a dictatorship, but a dictatorship of the CLASS, not of a party or of a clique -- dictatorship of the class, that means in the broadest possible form on the basis of the most active, unlimited participation of the mass of the people, of unlimited democracy." - Rosa Luxemburg
"An Rhein und Ruhr marschieren wir. / Für unsere Freiheit kämpfen wir! / Den Streifendienst, schlagt ihn entzwei! / Edelweiß marschiert – Achtung – die Straße frei!"

Don't forget "The Munich Observer", a high-circulation periodical, which was later aquired by the "Thule Gesellschaft" and was renamed to "Der Völkische Beobachter" ( "The Popular Observer" )* and became the NSDAPs own newspaper.
Also don't forget "Die Wochenschau", a weekly short motion picture that was usually shown before a movie in cinemas, depicting the latest "news". Those news mostly consisted of the usual indoctrination of nazi values and information about the progress of the German military. For example, news on how the heroic German army had achieved yet another great victory over the bolshevik subhuman scum, and how Stalingrad was about to be liberated from evil communist dictatorship, despite of some resistance by the savages.
* The word "Völkisch" roughly translates to "popular", although it is impossible to translate its actual meaning, since it was just another word which was just invented by the party's propaganda machine.
I guess the best way to translate "völkisch" is "German nationalist", although that's still very unprecise.
