Who developed the Nazi psychology techniques?
Upvote:2
The Big Lie was a technique and phrase (German: Große Lüge) coined and described by Adolph Hitler in Mein Kampf in 1925. (My emphasis)
All this was inspired by the principle—which is quite true within itself—that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously.
Hitler was undisputedly mad but, in his madness, was an inspired orator with a natural intuition of how to leverage crowd psychology for his own evil ends. He also, as a flame attracts moths, attracted to himself those like Himmler with similar intentions, intuition, and madness, and who in turn were able to implement and manage the petty details of the Nazi Party's evil agenda.
So to address your penultimate question ("Who developed such a great range of various deception and compelling techniques?") it was not a great range of compelling techniques, but a very simple and narrow technique - simply tell the biggest and most outrageous lie imaginable about your intentions and actions that claims to soothe the listener's fears.
