A large crowd listening to
Hitler in 1932.
How useful in this
source in explaining
Hitler’s rise to power?
Use the source and your
own knowledge to explain
your answer.
•
Use CONTENT (what you see) and CONTEXT (what you
know).
• Explain how source IS useful but also WHAT ITS LIMITS
ARE (what it doesn’t tell us). Then give your overall view.
• No source is absolutely useless!! e.g. propaganda sources still
tell us how Nazis tried to brainwash people.
Use of CONTENT Useful or Not/Less Useful [1-3]
Useful – big crowd giving Hitler salute; suggests strength of Nazi support
Or Not/Less Useful – don’t know what they’re thinking; can’t see their faces
Use of CONTENT Useful AND Not/Less Useful [4-5]
Use of CONTENT Useful AND Not/Less Useful
& CONTEXT Useful AND Not/Less Useful [5-6]
Context – Useful: we know Hitler was a powerful speaker; lots of people
attended his rallies; Nuremburg rallies etc.
Context – Not/Less Useful: there were many reasons why Hitler rose to power,
not just his speaking ability – e.g. use of fear; luck; weakness of opposition
CONTENT Useful AND Not/Less Useful
+ CONTEXT Useful AND Not/Less Useful + CONCLUSION =
7/7
“Overall this source is useful in understanding one of the reasons why Hitler
rose to power: his ability as a speaker. But it doesn’t tell us the whole picture.
