Cambridge International A-Level History European Option, Theme 3: Hitler's Germany 1929-41

These 15 lessons were created for the Cambridge International History (9489) Paper 4 Depth Study 1: European History in the Interwar Years 1919-41. The Depth Study focuses on Hitler’s Germany 1929-41. These lessons follow exactly what was laid out in the Cambridge scheme of work with a few of my own ideas added in. These lessons are really easy and simple to follow for anyone teaching this for the first time. The expectations are really clear, they come with a lot of different activities and challenges that my students enjoyed.

The lessons include:

1. The Problems Facing Weimar Politicians from 1929
2. Growth in Support of the NSDAP After 1929
3. Hitler’s Appointment as Chancellor
4. Reasons and Methods Used in the Consolidation of Power, 1933-34
5. Hitler’s Aims in Government and Administration Establishing the Nazi State
6. Nazi Means of Control and Their Impact
7. Nazi Persecution of the Jews and Other Minorities, 1933-39
8. Hitler and Nazi Foreign Policy
9. Nazi Policies: Changing Economic Priorities
10. Nazi Responses to the Great Depression
11. Key Nazi Policies in Agriculture and Industry
12. Nazi Policies: Women and Children
13. Nazi Policies Towards Religion
14. Life Under the Nazi Regime
15. Support for the Nazi Regime

There are a lot of chances in this course for independent research and learning (which at this level they need to prepare for university) while also providing opportunities for class discussion and ICT based tasks.

Please Note: Some tasks and revision are linked to ‘Weimar & Nazi Germany’ SHP textbook by John Hite and Chris Hinton. The PP’s have page numbers and the image linked to this bundle is the cover of the textbook needed. These PowerPoints, along with the textbook and other materials I have provided go into enough depth that they can be adapted for other age groups and exam boards.
