Assessment feedback
WWW –
• we showed really good knowledge / understanding
• our exam technique is already pretty good – and we’re only
going to get better
EBI –
• If anyone misspells “paid” again (it’s “paid” NOT “payed”) Mr.
Ponte is going to give them a Green Card)…
• We need to explain our answers a bit more – too much listing
(good) points but not explaining why they are important –
better to make fewer points but explain them fully than lots
of points not fully explained
• 6 marker – prioritise your points (“most important” etc.)
• 10 marker – must be balanced: Intro; 2-3 paras “for”; 2-3
paras “against”; conclusion
• Timing – we need to get it right – make sure we answer all the
questions
In what ways did H change tactics after
the Munich Putsch?
- Win power through elections
- Propaganda to build support (Goebbels;
posters etc.)
- Set up SS
- Set up Hitler Youth (win over next
generation)
- After 1928 targets votes from peasants
and middle class (groups not doing so well
from Weimar recovery)
Why did few people vote Nazi before
1930?
- reputation damaged by Munich Putsch
- economy was doing well – Dawes plan etc. –
most workers were happy (or happy voting
for SPD)
- Stresemann ended 1923 crisis and also
improved Germany’s international
reputation (Locarno Treaty 1925)
- People didn’t like racism & violence of the
Nazis/SA

Nazi propaganda posters
What is propaganda?
(i) The use of the
media to
aggressively
promote your
point of view.
(ii) “Brainwashing”
people to convince
them of a
particular
viewpoint (e.g.
anti-Semitism).

1930 – Work & Bread
Content
(what you
see)
Context (what
+ you know about
that time)
• The MAIN MESSAGE of the
poster is that Hitler is Germany’s
last hope to get Germany back to
work.
• CONTENT: The poster shows a
large number of unemployed,
downtrodden people. They include
men, women and children. They all
look like they have been let down
/ betrayed.
• CONTEXT: At the time, following
the Wall St. Crash and the
worldwide economic crash that
followed, 6m Germans were
unemployed. The poster suggests
that other Weimar politicians
have failed to help the German
people. Hitler is their only
remaining hope. The poster was
produced to win support for
Hitler in the 1932 Reichstag
(Parliament) or Presidential
elections.
• The MAIN MESSAGE is that the Nazis
will get Germans back to work (arbeit),
meaning that they will be able to feed
themselves / eat bread (brot).
• CONTENT: The poster shows a pair of
arms, one wearing a swastika (and thus
representing the Nazis) offering a
series of work tools to a number of
people reaching out eagerly for them
(the German people). The slogan on the
poster is “Work and Bread”.
• CONTEXT: At the time Germany was in
a very bad recession following the Wall
St. Crash. Millions were unemployed. The
politicians in power had failed to get
Germany back to work. The Nazis
promised new ideas, including building up
the army and public work programmes
(like building motorways). The striking
and simple images and slogan on the
poster are typical of Nazi propaganda.
The poster was produced to win support
for the Nazis in the 1930 elections.
“Death to lies” – a
strong fist grabs a
snake with
“Marxism”
(Communism) and

written on it.
