How and why did Hitler and the Nazis have total control of Germany by 1934?

This is two lessons work which charts the rise of Hitler and the Nazis to total power over Germany by 1934 and the death of President Hindenburg. There is a worksheet with questions which follows a short video linked in the ppt and then there is a consolidation exercise where students are encouraged to write paragraphs explaining their knowledge and understanding of the events.

There are a number of opportunities where students are asked to evaluate their progress and understanding of these events throughout the lesson.

These will work as stand alone lessons, but they do follow nicely on from my first lesson Hitler and the Nazis rise to power - this covers the concepts of democracy and dictatorship and how Germany went from one to the other.

These lessons are suitable for KS3 year 9.
