+ Types of Answers
Why did so many Germans resent the Versailles Treaty?
Cambridge requires this kind of answers:
“Many Germans were angry and resentful at the terms of the Versailles treaty firstly because it was
dictated to them (they were not allowed to attend the Conferences or participate in the decisions made),
and secondly because the terms of the treaty punished Germany harshly. Specifically Germany was
unfairly blamed for the War under Article 231 of the treaty. Having blamed the Germans the Allies
proceeded to punish them in a number of ways.
The Germans were made to pay reparations for war damage (over 6.6 billion pounds). It was impossible
for the German economy to sustain these payments and by 1922 the Weimar government had already
fallen behind in their payments. Reparations had a severely damaging effect on the German economy
being a major cause of hyperinflation. The Germans also had to give up the coal producing region of the
Saar. The economic crisis these measures caused was blamed by many Germans on the Versailles
Treaty and the "guilty men" who signed it.
Germans also resented the fact that by the Treaty of Versailles they lost territory, including West Prussia
to Poland, Alsace and Lorraine to France and all her foreign colonies. In total Germany lost around 13%
of its territory including significant industrial and agricultural regions. It is clear that many Germans
deeply resented the loss of territory in the later enthusiastic support given to Hitler's promises to restore
German pride and create "lebensraum" for the Third Reich.
Germans also resented the fact that their country was practically disarmed by the Treaty. The German
army was reduced to 100,000, no air force was permitted and severe restrictions were placed on the size
of the German navy. German troops were not allowed in the Rhineland (the demilitarized zone) and an
allied army occupied this region for fifteen years.”
Not this kind of answers:
“Because it was mean and it made the German people have to burn their money and get a new leader
like Hitler.”
Good answers will
focus on all four
areas:
Loss of land
Reparations
Disarmament
War Guilt

+ Tips for Coursework
• Make sure you understand the content before you start writing!
•
Use the website, your notes, and the books to review the content. You
probably need to add to your knowledge base so that you can include more
evidence/supporting details.
• Make sure that you do not rush through these answers!
• In each paragraph (complete answers will require more than one
paragraph) make sure that you:
•
•
•
1) make your point
2) explain your point and
3) prove your point with evidence.
Develop an argument with your words, rather than just writing
out random facts or descriptions.
• Ask yourself “Did I answer the question?”
•
Check to make sure that you answered the question that was being asked.
A common mistake students make is to answer a question they want to be
asked rather than the one they have been asked.
• Read the answer outloud to make sure it makes sense.
How did Hitler keep power?
Hitler created a totalitarian state.
In a totalitarian state, citizens divert all of their energy to
serving the state and to doing what its leader wants.
How did Hitler keep power?
1) Created a one-party state:
How?
Enabling Act (March 1933) made him all-powerful Fuhrer
The Law against the Formation of Parties (July 1933) =
Nazi Party only political party in Germany.
Leaders of other parties put in prison.
Nazi Party members got the best jobs, better houses and special
privileges.
How did he keep
power?
2) Terror
Set up the Gestapo (secret state police)
Most feared by citizens
Controlled the SS
Fanatically loyal group of
bodyguards/paramilitary group
Led by Heinrich Himmler
Primary responsibility = destroying
opposition, achieving racial policies
Subdivisions of the SS
Death’s Head units: Responsible for concentration camps and slaughter of Jewish
population
Waffen-SS: Armored regiments that fought alongside regular army
How did he keep
power?
2) Terror (continued)
Controlled police and courts
Top positions went to high ranking Nazis
Opponents rarely received a fair trial
Concentration Camps
Makeshift prisons in isolated, rural areas
Prisoners forced to do hard labor
Faced harsh discipline, random executions
By late 1930s, few lived
Economic fears (“keeping your head down”)
Encouraged Germans to report opponents
Went to great lengths to find out what people
were saying about the regime
“The average worker is
primarily interested in work
and not in democracy.
People who previously
supported democracy now
showed no interest at all in
politics. One must be clear
about the fact that in the first
instance men are fathers of
families and have jobs, and
that for them politics takes
second place and even the,n
only when they expect to get
something out of it.” –
German activist, 1936
How did he
keep power?
3) Propaganda
Minister for Enlightenment & Propaganda = Dr. Joseph Goebbels
Believed Hitler = savior, mission to convince others
Tactic:
bring excitement & sense of belonging
prove the power of the state
emphasize order
point out scapegoats/enemies
use media and entertainment, avoid “political messages”
Example: “Triumph of the Will”
Goebbels and Propaganda Clip

1936 Olympics in Berlin
International propaganda opportunity
Showcase doctrine that Aryan race superior
Prove Germany was modern, civilized,
successful nation
No expense spared!
Visitors amazed at scale, facilities &
organization
Noticeable strength, efficiency, achievement
For others, propaganda effort backfired
Appalled by fanatical devotion to Hitler &
presence of army + SS
Jesse Owns – 4 gold medals, 11 world records (10
black members of the American team won 13
medals)  destroyed idea of Aryan superiority

Propaganda
1936 -38 Boxing Championship: Joe Louis vs. Max Schmeling
Hitler will use Max Schmeling as an overseas mouthpiece
“When you go to the US, you’re going to obviously be interviewed by people who are
thinking that very bad things are going on in Germany at this moment. You’ll tell
them that the situation isn’t as bleak as they think it is.” – Hitler to Schmeling
After first fight, Schmeling became a hero
“Schmeling knocks out the Negro. Wonderful… the white man defeats the black man,
and the white man was German!” – Goebbels
The second fight became a spectacle embodied the broader political and social conflict of the times:
Louis was a focus point for African Am pride in the 1930s, representing the entire United States against
Nazi Germany.
The fight came to symbolize the struggle between democracy and fascism.
These two fights are among the most talked about in all of boxing history.
The Media
Stark contrast to free expression of Weimar Germany
(had help of SS & Gestapo to control)
Everyone in arts, music, films etc, had to join Nazi Artists organization.
Many talented people left Germany in the 1930s.
Propaganda
Nazi’s controlled (what was left) very strictly
Books – Goebbels had to permit. Organized “book-burnings”
Newspapers – no anti-Nazi ideas, no foreign perspectives, very
dull
Art – only Nazi approved painters (images = Aryan, heroic
looking military figures or ideal Aryan family).
Movies – ALL had to carry a pro-Nazi message
Posters – proclaimed success of Hitler & attacked opponents
Music – no Jazz, Aryan composers only
Radio – Goebbels made cheap so all could hear Nazi
message; placed loudspeakers in streets & bars
“The time is yours.
What happens with it
depends on you.”
“That, too, is an affirmation of the Führer:
that one becomes a radio listener and can
thereby always be connected to the Führer,
and to the life of his people.”
“The Jew is our misfortune”
“Each German boy and each
German girl must be filled with
the sense of holy duty to
represent our people.”
“Germany. We all stand under the
great command: Do your duty to
serve your people!” Adolf Hitler.
“Each sin against
racial purity is a sin
against God’s will
and the created
How did he keep
power?
4) Education
“Our state is an educational state… It does not let a man go free from the
cradle to the grave. We begin with the child when he is three years old.
As soon as he begins to think, he is made to carry a little flag. Then
follows school, the Hitler Youth, the storm troops and military training.
We don’t let him go; and when all that is done, comes the Labour Front,
which takes possession of him again, and does not let him go till he dies,
even if he does not like it.”
– Dr. Robert Ley, in charge of making “good citizens” out of German people
How did he keep power?
“It is my great educative work I am beginning with the young. We
older ones are used up.. We are bearing the burden of a humiliating
past… But my magnificent youngsters! Are there finer ones in the
world? Look at these young men and boys! What material! With them
I can make a new world!” – Hitler, speaking in 1939
4) Education
Hitler wanted to control the daily life of people.
Placed great importance on young people.
Pushed values of discipline, sacrifice, obedience
Taught to see Hitler as father figure
Reorganized schools to make children loyal to
him
How did he keep power?
4) Education
Textbooks were rewritten
Subjects distorted to indoctrinate pupils
Would learn:
Only German history
The Jews are aliens in Germany. In 1933
there were 66 million inhabitants in the
German Reich of whom 499, 862 were
Jews. What is the percentage of aliens in
Germany? – Question in a math book
1933
stab in the back theory
hardships of 1920s caused by Jews
History that would bring confidence that loyalty to
Fuhrer was right & good
biology lessons taught Aryan race superior in
intelligence & strength to untermenschen (sub-human)
Math reinforced pro-Nazi, anti-semitic views
“All subjects – German language, History, Geography, Chemistry & Mathematics – must
concentrate on military subjects, the glorifications of military service and of German heroes &
leaders and the strength of a rebuilt Germany. Chemistry will develop a knowledge of chemical
warfare, explosives, etc, while mathematics will help the young to understand artillery,
calculations and ballistics.” – German newspaper approving of Curriculum
“'When an opponent declares, 'I
will not come over to your side', I
calmly say, 'Your child belongs to us
already’.” - Hitler
All teachers had to belong to the German Teachers League
The Nazis replaced anti-Nazi teachers & University professors
German boys required to attend Hitler Youth
German girls went to the BDM (League of German Girls) & learned domestic skills… and to love
Hitler.
“He is my mother and my father. He keeps me safe
from all harm.”
- German woman
told the American
reporter
Nazi propaganda
gave people
hope. Nora Wall
Nazi racial philosophy gave people self-belief.
Trust in Adolf Hitler gave a sense of security.

1933-39
Next Objectives
Understand how Germany changed once Hitler
became dictator:
Examine the economic policy of the Nazis
Discuss how Nazi ideology was put in to practice &
changed the lives of youth, women, workers, and
Jews
Empathize with life under Nazi control, both for
those favored and those unfavored
Essential Question
What tactics do leaders use to control
their followers?
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep
repeating it, people will eventually
come to believe it. The lie can be
maintained only for such time as the
State can shield the people from the
political, economic and/or military
consequences of the lie. It thus
becomes vitally important for the
State to use all of its powers to
repress dissent, for the truth is the
mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by
extension, the truth is the greatest
enemy of the State." - Joseph
Goebbels
“I do not want an
intellectual education.
I want young people
who will grow up to
frighten the world...
Arrogant, violent,
unafraid, cruel youth
who must be able to
suffer pain.
Nothing tender and
weak must be left in
them.” - Hitler
Nazi effect on: Women
“Kinder, Kirche, and Kuche.”
The Nazis = male-dominated & anti-feminist.
Nazi philosophy idealized role of women as child-bearer & creators of the family.
At 18, some went from League of German Girls to “Faith and Beauty” camp
Trained to become ideal mothers
Law for the Encouragement of Marriage: more money for more children
Not allowed to work or serve in armed forces
Only thing actively encouraged have children.
August 12, Motherhood Cross
Gold Cross = 8+ children
Silver Cross = 6-7 children
Bronze Cross =5 children
Lebensborn “Spring of Life” homes created
Make-up, trousers, hair-dye was not allowed
And for the others? How did the economic policies
impact….
Workers
Industrialists & big business owners
Farmers
Soldiers
Vocabulary
Trade union: organization of workers to demand rights for
workers
Self-sufficient: having everything that is needed, not
requiring any imports, (AKA autarky)
Rearmament: building up your armed forced, constructing
materials needed for war.
Untermenschen: sub-human (Jews, slavs)
Indoctrinate: getting people (especially the impressionable
or young) to believe in a set of ideas
Lebensraum = Living Space
Hitler’s Aims
Drag Germany out of the world
depression
Solve unemployment
Make Germany an autarky
Transform economy to focus on
rearmament/war
Hitler’s Economic Policies
Stop paying reparations
Increase govt spending
Use propaganda  convince everyone that work was good &
everyone who could work MUST
Create full employment – everyone should/must have a job
(except for some)
Get rid of Jewish industrialists & give their businesses to 'Aryans’
Ban trade unions & give power to the industrialists
Increase hours and decrease wages
Begin re-armament
Minister of the Economy was
Hjalmar Sacht
Directed German economy 1933-6. Brilliant economist.
1934: Created “New Plan”
Goals:
reduce imports into Germany
Strengthen currency
organize Germany’s finances to fund a huge program of work creation
Promoted trade w/ developing countries
Was against spending too much on rearmament before German
economy was strong enough…
replaced by Goering.
Hermann Goering
Idea: German economy can be converted into a
war machine
Germany must rearm quickly & be ready for war
Created a Four-Year Plan w/ Hitler
Rearm FAST
conquer countries
takeover their economies
would give master race 'Lebensraum'
Logic: By exploiting conquered countries living
standards could be maintained at home despite all
$$$$ being spent on war
Total $ spent on military:
1933 = 1.9 million marks
1939 =32.3 million.
Attacking Unemployment
Biggest inherited problem
June 1933: Nazis passed Law to Reduce Unemployment
Unemployment fell from over 6 million to almost nothing
How?
Stopped paying reparations
Instead, invested $ in German companies/industry
Government spending rose:
1932: 5 billion
1938: 30 billion marks
Nazi “machine” needed thousands of clerks, prison guards etc.
Began huge program of public works projects & conservation programs
planting forests, digging ditches
building hospitals, schools, houses, & other public buildings
Huge network of railways, motorways, & autobahns
Evidence: Construction of the autobahns created work for 80,000
men!
Trade unions were abolished
Men joined RAD (National/Reich Labor Service)
To improve the
living conditions of
the German people
To make it seem as
though he was coming
through on his promises.
Kick start the cycle
of prosperity
What was the aim
of Hitler’s Public
Works Program?
To build impressive
buildings so that the
German people
would feel proud
To improve the public
transport network for
industrial & military use
Attacking Unemployment
THE RAD
military style uniform
lived in camps
received meager earnings
To “protect” workers German Labor
Front (DAF) set up
led by Robert Ley
helped somewhat, but many
limitations
Despite only earning
“pocket change,” compared
to the lack of success of the
Weimar gov and the
chronic misery of 1931-32,
men felt at least the Nazis
were making the effort to
improve their lives.
Industry & Rearmament
The New Plan of 1934 had stopped imports & given govt. $ to industry
Impact:
Production rose (especially of oil, steel, coal & explosives)
Re-armament began in 1935
Hitler built up the armed with conscription (the draft)
National service required:
All young men spent 6 months in RAD, then to army
By 1939, 1.4 million men in army (not counted as unemployed)
Rearmament created jobs in armaments industry
(soldiers needed equipment, so this set factories back into production)
Businesses strictly controlled
could be told to make something different
were not allowed to raise wages
workers could be sent to other factories
Economists know now that these policies caused massive economic problems, but at the time
it seemed like economic recovery.
Gaining Loyalty from Workers with
the “Beauty of Work” (SdA) Campaign
Movement: help Germans see that work was
good
Improved working conditions in factories
introduced new features (washing facilities
& low-cost canteens)
However, Nazis had
• abolished the trade unions
• banned strikes
• given more power to the industrialists
• Couldn’t leave job w/o permission from
govt.
• THEREFORE, real wages fell & hours were
longer:
• Evidence:
•
•
•
49 hours per week in 1939
52 hours in 1943
over 60 hours per week by 1945
Gaining Loyalty from Workers with
the“Strength Through Joy” Program
leisure time of workers controlled too!
Led by "Kraft durch Freude" (KdF)
organization
Workers were offered cheap
movie/theater tickets, courses, trips,
sports events, as well as special holidays
Designed the Volkswagen (or
‘People’s Car’) ‘Beetle’
(planned to be able to buy for 5
marks a week)
The Nazis and Farming
Farmers had helped the Nazi’s rise to power
Introduced the Reich Food Estate under Richard Darre
Govt would buy products from farmers & distribute it to markets across Germany
Gave farmers a guaranteed “market” for their goods at guaranteed prices
Food imports were reduced
1933 Farm Law:
Protected farms – could not be taken away by banks or mortgages. Had to be passed on to eldest
son.
Racial aim: “Blood and Soil” (farmers were the basis of Germany’s “master race” and should be
protected)
Impact:
Initial recovery after 1933, stopped improving by 1937
Not as high as industrialists
Some resented the regime’s control
Farmers were strictly controlled (e.g., one rule stated that hens must lay 65 eggs a year)
Could not get a loan from any bank
Efficient & non-efficient farmers treated the same (some held back)
Rural depopulation followed (30% per year!)

How did Hitler put Germany back to work?
What Nazi propaganda “left out”
Working boosted Hitler’s popularity because their sense of national pride grew. They began
to feel like their country was finally emerging from the humiliation of the Great War
and the Treaty of Versailles.
Was this all too good to be true?
A number of reasons accounted for the drop in unemployment:
Women not included in statistics. Their jobs were given to men.
Unemployed were given a very simple choice: do whatever work is given to you by the
government or be classified as” work-shy” and put into a concentration camp
Jews lost citizenship in 1934  not included in unemployment figures even though almost all
lost their employment.
Conscription reduced # of young men “unemployed.”
Many working in rearmament industries … but could they keep this up forever?
With all this in place, the unemployment figure had to fall
However, if anyone noticed this “book-keeping trick” they would have been too scared to speak
out against the Nazis.
The “Good Life” in Nazi Germany
For ordinary people, life was good and many Germans even today look back and
remember the years before 1939 as happy years
“Everybody” had a job & a wage
Nazi economic policy gave full employment, prosperity, and financial security for
many.
To people who had been unemployed and starving, “work and bread” was a
wonderful blessing worth any civil liberty they lost
Many observers saw no poverty.
Strength Through Joy program gave people fun & holidays
Beauty of Work program game people pride in what they were doing
People appreciated public works (new schools & hospitals)
Hitler’s government was strong (unlike the Weimar government) & passed laws
quickly
The “Good Life” in Nazi Germany
Law & order seemed to exist (few people locked their doors – no crime)
Autobahns improved transportation
Rallies, frequent ceremonies, and Nazi propaganda gave people hope and
confidence
Nazi racial philosophy gave people self-belief
Trust in Adolf Hitler and propaganda gave people a sense of security
Morale was boosted
Germany seemed to be reclaiming its place as a strong country in world affairs
The Negative Effects
Workers lost rights (strike, ask for better conditions or pay).
People who refused to work were imprisoned & strikers could be shot
Wages actually fell, while hours increased
Nazis worked closely with BIG BUSINESS. Gave more power and most $$$ to the
industrialists!
All culture had to be German
Personal freedoms (speech, press, religion) disappeared from the lives of Germans.
The Negative Effects
Fewer consumer goods.
Gender- discrimination against women was encouraged.
Women doctors, teachers and civil servants were forced to give up their careers,
and yet they were given medals for the more children they had. Women were
never allowed to serve in the armed forces - even during the war.
Minorities were horrifically persecuted
1933 to 1939, the Nazi government spent more than it earned so that by 1939, its debt
stood at over 40 billion marks!
Censorship, education, and propaganda meant people had a distorted and narrowminded view of events.
The key here is to understand that the Nazi state affected
different people in different ways.
For the majority of people, in fact, life was good - that is
why they turned a blind eye to the fact that - for groups
which were not accepted by the Nazi state - life was horrific.
