Assessment feedback WWW – we showed really good knowledge / understanding our exam technique is already pretty good – and we’re only going to get better EBI – If anyone misspells “paid” again (it’s “paid” NOT “payed”) Mr. Ponte is going to give them a Green Card)… We need to explain our answers a bit more – too much listing (good) points but not explaining why they are important – better to make fewer points but explain them fully than lots of points not fully explained 6 marker – prioritise your points (“most important” etc.) 10 marker – must be balanced: Intro; 2-3 paras “for”; 2-3 paras “against”; conclusion Timing – we need to get it right – make sure we answer all the questions

In what ways did H change tactics after the Munich Putsch? -Win power through elections -Propaganda to build support (Goebbels; posters etc.) -Set up SS -Set up Hitler Youth (win over next generation) -After 1928 targets votes from peasants and middle class (groups not doing so well from Weimar recovery)

Why did few people vote Nazi before 1930? -reputation damaged by Munich Putsch -economy was doing well – Dawes plan etc. – most workers were happy (or happy voting for SPD) -Stresemann ended 1923 crisis and also improved Germany’s international reputation (Locarno Treaty 1925) -People didn’t like racism & violence of the Nazis/SA

TWO EXAMPLES OF NAZI ELECTION PROPAGANDA – Hitler: Our Last Hope1930 – Work & Bread What is message of this poster? Use details on poster & your own knowledge. Main Message Content (what you see) Context (what you know about that time) + +

The MAIN MESSAGE of the poster is that Hitler is Germany’s last hope to get Germany back to work. CONTENT: The poster shows a large number of unemployed, downtrodden people. They include men, women and children. They all look like they have been let down / betrayed. CONTEXT: At the time, following the Wall St. Crash and the worldwide economic crash that followed, 6m Germans were unemployed. The poster suggests that other Weimar politicians have failed to help the German people. Hitler is their only remaining hope. The poster was produced to win support for Hitler in the 1932 Reichstag (Parliament) or Presidential elections.

The MAIN MESSAGE is that the Nazis will get Germans back to work (arbeit), meaning that they will be able to feed themselves / eat bread (brot). CONTENT: The poster shows a pair of arms, one wearing a swastika (and thus representing the Nazis) offering a series of work tools to a number of people reaching out eagerly for them (the German people). The slogan on the poster is “Work and Bread”. CONTEXT: At the time Germany was in a very bad recession following the Wall St. Crash. Millions were unemployed. The politicians in power had failed to get Germany back to work. The Nazis promised new ideas, including building up the army and public work programmes (like building motorways). The striking and simple images and slogan on the poster are typical of Nazi propaganda. The poster was produced to win support for the Nazis in the 1930 elections.
