2. Starter What does the insignia to the left show us about terror in Nazi Germany? [ 5 marks] General answer [ 1 ] Level 1 It shows us that the Nazis ruled with terror as shown by the skull or lightening indicating death/murder. Simple inference [2-3 marks] Level 2 It shows us that the Nazis ruled with terror through their use of the SS as shown by the two logos with the lightening and the skull indicating death/murder Developed answer [4-5 marks] Level 3 It shows us the Nazis used the SS, along with the Gestapo, Police and other state organisations to rule over the people of Germany. The insignia demonstrate this – with the lightening and the skull. Moreover the first image can be moved so that it becomes the Nazi Swastika. Historical knowledge – for levels 2 + 3 you score one mark in the level (i.e. 3 or 5) if you mention things like the leader of the SS was formed in 1925, led by Himmler, virtually destroyed the SA in 1934, had two important subdivisions – death head unit and Waffen SS.
6. Today - task 1. How did the Nazis control people? Tell me the link between the images you see as they appear. The Nazis used a carrot and stick approach – offer people employment and if that didn’t work use force and coercion.

8. How the Nazis controlled Germany. Your challenge: examine the 4 bodies that ensured Nazi control. Using the pyramid as a visual tool decide which of the bodies was the most important and which least important. Make notes on each of the areas. Mr. Lee’s version. The Gestapo . Although the secret police was not that large it was this organisation that most normal Germans feared the most in my view. They could arrest people without reason and could send people to concentration camps without even putting someone on trial.
9. The SS – quite possibly the most feared of Hitler’s supporters. Fanatical, well trained and well resourced. Watch moviemaker – try to think up 3 questions you could ask to find out more.

14. Success [2-3 marks] Disaster [1 mark] Use the source Use the source Use your knowledge Use your knowledge Hitler is in prison. He was given a 5 year prison sentence. He is in prison but it looks nice and comfortable with paintings and flowers. Hitler had visitors. The putsch failed because Hitler was not supported by people who had promised to support him such as Von Kahr, the Bavarian Prime Minister. The putsch was not supported by the army or police. In fact, the army crushed the putsch easily and many Nazis were killed and Hitler fled. The putsch was badly planned. Hitler was imprisoned and put on trial. He turned this around as he used the trial to make a huge nationalist speech which impressed many people. He gained national publicity. Whilst in prison, he wrote Mein Kampf and it gave him time to re-evaluate his tactics. He received a 5 year sentence but he only served 9 months. Balanced argument between elements of success and disaster [4-5 marks]
