The big lie (German: große Lüge) is a propaganda technique[2] where someone tells a huge, outrageous lie repeatedly until people start to believe it. Adolf Hitler described this idea in his 1925 book Mein Kampf, explaining that people are more likely to believe a massive lie than a small one because they can't imagine anyone would dare to lie about something so big.
