- Do sources B and C support the evidence that is given in source A about the aims of the Nazis?
Source B: a piece of writing from a science of military defence book written by a Nazi, Leipzig in 1932 and source C which is taken from Mein kempt, written by Hitler in 1924 do support source A which is an article written by Hitler describing the moment he had heard about the Armistice in November 1918. The sources support one another because they are both saying the same idea. The idea being that Hitler has to take charge and possible go to war so that it will be better in the future.
Source A explains how Hitler has decide to go into politics so that he could change the way the world worked because he hated the way it the that the fools, liars and criminal as Hitler refer to them controlled the events that happened, And it was up to him to change it.
Source B explains why there is the need to go to war it says that “between our present misery and our future happiness there is war” this is saying that there is a reason for war and that to get happiness you need to fight for it. The reason Nazi wanted to go to war was so that they could control everything because they did not agree with how the other was going about the matters. You can sum this up in a sentence “sacrifice now if you want happiness in the future”. This is why everyone needed to be informed about what war was.
Source C also implies this message as well it says “it is necessary, for better or for worse” the source also give some kind of impression of control and passionate and they will stand by their word but they need you first to go to war and get them what they want then there will be peace.
All of these sources have a connection. The link between them being that war is the opposed that should be taken for the world to be a better place the aims are for Hitler to get power and brainwash everyone into his way and under his control.
- How useful are the sources D and E in helping us to understand the beliefs of the
Nazis?
By looking at both sources I can see that sources D and E are very useful in helping us to understand the beliefs of the Nazis. Source D which is a poster that was publish by the nazi party in the 1930’s. The picture shows us Hitler with all of his follows behind him. Lots are carrying the Nazi flag and wearing the Nazi armband and the swastika; this was a cross and was one of the symbols that were implied with the Nazis. Another symbol was the bird this also was a symbol that was used. This source helps us to understand Nazi beliefs because they are all wearing the same and following commands that were set. They also all shared the same beliefs in what Hitler was saying.
Source D, which was a piece from a speech from Hitler in November 1937. In the speech he says that all German no matter where they are in the world should have their own land this is so that Germany can be expanded – “where Germans live. Space is paramount” Hitler knew that France and Britain would not like him doing this is what he said to them “they will have to be fought”. Hitler does not want peace he just want to fight and win which will make him more powerful and have more control over others. Hitler believed that the Germans were greater than everyone else and therefore had much more rights and should be protected wherever they are.
These two sources allow us to understand more about the beliefs of the Nazis and why they did certain things that upset others.
