Like most other forms of propaganda, its main function is to influence people in order to further a specific agenda. In regards to Adolf Hitler & his Nazi regime, I would say that the primary focus of the propaganda was to fuel the nationalistic pride of Germany in order to turn it into an industrial, global superpower. To be nationalistic is to view your country as the best in a sense, and Hitler wanted to change the public confidence in their own Germany. At the time, Germany was dealing with massive debt due to the Treaty of Versailles (which ended WW1 and made Germany pay reparations of $269 billion in today's currency) and also dealing with a global depression starting in 1929. Also in many examples of the propaganda, the Nazis target followers of Judaism as the blame for all of Germany's misfortunes, and also pushed for the idea that the Aryan race was superior to all others.
So to wrap up, Nazi propaganda's main function was to influence the people of Germany in order to further Adolf Hitler's imperialistic & inhumane plans in conquering Europe. Germans rallied behind Hitler, but they definitely didn't know what they got themselves into when Hitler rose to power in 1933.
