**Germany 1890-1945: Democracy and Dictatorship **
The aim of this lesson is to examine the role of the Churches in Nazi Germany and to decide how much control Hitler exerted over them.
The lesson starts by studying Christianity in Germany and explains why there was a conflict of interest with the State.
Nazi policies to both the Catholic and Protestant Churches are analysed as students have to interpret the threats they both posed to Hitler.
Furthermore students have to distinguish the differences between the Christian Churches and the new Nazi Reich Church.
There are some excellent links to video footage which explain why there was such a lack of opposition and a united front from the Churches, despite such fortitude and resolve from Cardinal Galen and Martin Niemoller.
A thinking quilt poses some enquiry and GCSE questions, which students have to answer by linking specific key words to them.
The lesson is enquiry based with a key question using a lightbulb posed at the start of the lesson and revisited to show the progress of learning.
The resource includes suggested teaching strategies, retrieval practice, differentiated materials and comes in PowerPoint format if there is a wish to adapt and change.
