Nazi Control (2 lessons)

Key Question - Were the German people terrorised into supporting the Nazi state?
This topic forms part of the popular GCSE module 'Life in Nazi Germany' and follows the line of how the Nazi regime conducted a 'carrot and stick' approach. The central concept is control, whether by terror or propaganda. The topic also links with the experiences of women, young people, workers and those who did not fit in. The essential information is provided through a Power Point (12 slides) and information sheets on the police state, propaganda and Nazi achievements, supported by worksheets and a source sheet on concentration camps. There is a prompt sheet for an assessment on the extent to which propaganda was the main method of control.
