Hitler's Rise to Power Essay Question

This page contains an essay question on how Hitler was able to create a dictatorship between February 1933 and August 1934.

The question provides two key events for students to include:

  • The Enabling Act
  • Night of the Long Knives

A sample answer is provided, covering three main reasons:

  1. The Reichstag Fire (February 27, 1933)

    • Led to arrest of 4,000 communists
    • Weakened Hitler's opposition
    • Allowed banning of KPD (Communist Party) from Reichstag

  2. The Enabling Act (March 23, 1933)

    • Gave Hitler power to make laws without Reichstag approval
    • Effectively ended democracy

  3. Night of the Long Knives (June 30, 1934)

    • Eliminated SA leadership as a threat to Hitler
    • Brought SA under control
    • Pleased Germans who disliked SA violence

Vocabulary: The Enabling Act was a law passed in 1933 that allowed Hitler to make laws without the approval of Germany's parliament, a key step in establishing his dictatorship.

Definition: A dictatorship is a form of government where one person or party has absolute power, without democratic checks and balances.

Source Evaluation on Nazi Party Support

This page presents a source evaluation question on reasons for growing support for the Nazi Party from 1929-1932. Students are asked to assess the usefulness of two sources:

Source A: A photograph showing people queuing for unemployment benefits, with "Vote Hitler" visible on a wall.

Analysis points:

  • Shows impact of unemployment from Great Depression
  • Could be propaganda to attract Nazi support
  • Useful but should be treated with caution

Source B: An account of Hitler's speeches by Albert Speer

Analysis points:

  • Describes speeches creating enthusiasm and hope
  • Shows Hitler as a strong leader addressing German grievances
  • May be biased as Speer became a Nazi official

Quote: Source B states Hitler's speeches created a "wave of enthusiasm" and gave listeners "new hope".

Highlight: This question tests students' ability to critically evaluate historical sources, a key skill for GCSE History Nazi Germany exam questions.

Page 3: Analysis of Nazi Party Support

This page presents two contrasting interpretations of why the Nazi Party gained support during 1929-1932.

Quote: "Hitler himself and his charismatic leadership, along with the importance of propaganda" - Interpretation 1

Definition: Charismatic leadership refers to a form of authority based on the leader's exceptional personal qualities.

Highlight: The interpretations differ on whether Hitler's personal leadership or external economic factors were more significant in gaining support.

Source Analysis Question on Nazi Family Life

This page presents a source analysis question about family life in Nazi Germany, using a 1937 Nazi propaganda poster.

The question asks students to make two inferences about family life based on details in the poster image. This tests students' ability to analyze visual sources and draw conclusions.

Sample inferences provided include:

  1. Families were expected to have many children (evidenced by 4 children shown)
  2. Mothers were expected to care for children (evidenced by breastfeeding image)

Highlight: This question format is common on GCSE History Nazi Germany exam questions, requiring students to make inferences from visual propaganda sources.

Example: A strong answer would clearly state the inference and link it to specific visual evidence from the poster.
