This secondary school resource will take students through the final days of the Second World War, focusing on the Battle of Berlin and and the endgame for the Nazi leadership.
Students will learn some context surrounding the Allied advance on Germany before watching a number of clips from the 2004 film ‘Downfall’ (youtube clips). This will provide students with an entertaining and (for our purposes) a reasonably accurate portrayal of events. They will then describe the final weeks of the war in Europe.
You will then briefly touch on the human cost of the war and have them think about and answer a few questions.
Finally students will learn a little about VE Day (or Victory Day in the ex Soviet Union) and then explain why it continues to be important to commemorate the Allied victory.
