Early opposition to the Nazis | A Level

Democracy and Nazi Germany A Level Bundle, Part 3

**AQA GCE A Level Democracy and Nazism: Germany 1918-45** **Nazi Dictatorship 1933-39** I have produced this bundle of resources on the beginnings of the Nazi Dictatorship 1933-39 to help A Level students gain a deeper understanding of Germany’s past and the establishment of a Dictatorship. The enquiry question throughout these lessons will be evaluate how much of a totalitarian state Germany became under the Nazis. Students will learn about the impact of the Night of the Long Knives and the significance Hindenburg’s death had on Hitler’s consolidation of power. They will also explore the mechanisms and apparatus Hitler installed to provoke fear and ensure compliance among the population, including the roles of the Gestapo and SS. Students will assess the effectiveness of Nazi propaganda in controlling public perception and opinion., the economic policies of the Four Year Plan and autarky and the impact upon workers of the DAF, Strength Through Joy and Beauty of Labour programmes. Finally students will analyse the efficacy of social policies on the young and women and decide how successfully the Churches were brought into line and replaced with the Nazis version of Christianity. The resources provided include detailed lesson plans, case studies, source documents for analysis, chronological tasks and exam practice questions with comprehensive mark schemes. The lessons are as follows: L1 One Party State (Free resource) L2 The Night of the Long Knives L3 The Terror State L4 Early Opposition L5 Propaganda L6 Economic Policy L7 Youth Groups L8 Women L9 Workers L10 The Churches The lessons include the two types of exam question used, with examples of how to tackle them, using model answers, helpful hints and tips, structuring and scaffolding as well as markschemes. However, please refer to the AQA website for further assessment materials as they are subject to copyright. The lessons are also differentiated and fully resourced and allow students to reach the very top marks. I am currently completing further lessons for Part 4 the Racial State, which will appear on TES shortly. If you have any questions about the lessons, please email me via my TES shop, or any other information about the course. I would also welcome any reviews, which would be gratefully appreciated.
