This secondary school resource will take students through a brief overview of Operation Barbarossa before focusing on the ferocious Battle of Stalingrad. Students will discuss the German motivations for seizing Stalingrad, they will then progress to watch a video on the battle with questions to answer. With this context of the battle students will debate its significance before explaining why the battle was significant in the defeat of Nazi Germany. This is the fifth lesson in a series focusing on the Second World War. ATTENTION - You will need access to Netflix or World War 2 in colour to make full use of this resource.

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.

How far do you agree?) after which they will attempt to answer it using hints and sentence starters on the board.

To finish students will need to explain why the French won in 3 paragraphs.
