Certainly the term propaganda when applied to World War II (WWII), if not in general, brings many negative connotations. While loaded, however, the term also applies to many positive messages during WWII and previous eras. Propaganda is media generally produced by the government to influence attitudes, but is not intrinsically false, brainwashing, though the term has become loaded as a result of such uses. During WWII many governments facing extinction used propaganda; mostly posters, as a means of communication with the public.
The following resources describe some of the more notable uses of these posters.
