Thacker notes: "Goebbels was already aware that his diary constituted a remarkable historical document, and entertained fond hopes of reworking it at some future stage for further publication, devoting hours to each day's entry." The involvement of a stenographer, however, meant that the diaries were no longer entirely secret, and they became less frank about personal matters.

After Goebbels first met Hitler in July 1925, however, the Nazi leader increasingly became the central figure in the diary. By July 1926 Goebbels was so enraptured by Hitler speaking on "racial issues", that he wrote: "It is impossible to reproduce what said. It must be experienced. He is a genius.

The last preserved entry dates to 10 April 1945 and contains only a report on the military situation, on which
Goebbels did not comment. The boxes of glass plates containing the microfilmed diaries were sent in April 1945 to
