	from the 1950s, Weilgart theorized that whereas the conscious mind links synonyms (similar meanings), the subconscious mind associates assonance (similar sounds). That is, while we ''think'' about and distinguish similar-sounding words by their different meanings, we nonetheless ''feel'' at some level that they are (or ought to be) also related in meaning. Alliterative slogans may suggest a link in words unrelated by meaning but related by common sounds. Weilgart posited that such slogans were one of the many significant factors that could lead to war under desperate and incendiary conditions. Further, he believed that the general discrepancy between homophonous and synonymous words in conventional language would add to the disconnect with the subconscious mind.		from the 1950s, Weilgart theorized that whereas the conscious mind links synonyms (similar meanings), the subconscious mind associates assonance (similar sounds).

	For example, in one of the most repeated political slogans, ''Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer!'' ("One people, One empire, One leader!" the word Volk sounds similar to ''folgt'', meaning to follow or obey; ''Reich'' also means rich; so the phrase points to a subliminal association: that the populace obeys and follows their leader, who leads them to a wealthy empire. ''Blu-Bo'' from ''Blut und Boden'' (Blood and Soil) was also a key slogan of Nazi ideology, as well as of course ''Heil Hitler!'' (Hail Hitler! - ''heil'' also meaning salvation, safe, well).

	As a young man, Weilgart observed the pervasive and insidious effects of state planned Nazi propaganda. In particular, he was struck by how double meanings, together with similar sounds in slogans often associated unrelated words into suggestive "stereotyped formulas", [that would] "arrest the attention and appeal to the hearts of the national masses"<ref>Hitler, ''Mein Kampf,'' 1925</ref>. For example, in one of the most repeated political slogans, ''Ein Volk, Ein Reich, Ein Führer!'' ("One people, One empire, One leader!" the word Volk sounds similar to ''folgt'', meaning to follow or obey; ''Reich'' also means rich; so the phrase points to a subliminal association: that the populace obeys and follows their leader, who leads them to a wealthy empire. ''Blu-Bo'' from ''Blut und Boden'' (Blood and Soil) was also a key slogan of Nazi ideology, as well as of course ''Heil Hitler!'' (Hail Hitler! - ''heil'' also meaning salvation, safe, well).
