Source based questions

(a)

Do you think that this cartoon was published in a nazi newspaper or by their opponents? Use the source and your own knowleadge to explain your answer.

I think that this source is pro - Nazi firstly because the source shows poor quality meat being searved to the Germans my evidence for this is that in the source the jewish are puting a rat into the mincer.

Secondly that the jews want to kill the Germans my evidence for this is that there are goose hanging from the ceeling which represent the German soliders because the German soliders take steeps like goose when they march.

Thirdly and lastly it shows a typical jew with a big nose and being fat. I also think that it proves that Jews are evil, wealthy and greedy.

(b)

 Is this an accurate account of the view of all Germans in Nazi Germany? Use the source and your own knowledge to explain your answer.

I think that this source is not an accurate account of all germans firstly because its only interviewing one person so therefore it bias and its also a one person view its not like thisperson who was interviewing went and asked every single German in Germany wha they thought about hitler if he/she had done then maybe but because its only the view of only one person it is difficult almost impossible to say that thats what all Germans thought.

 Secondly the person they are interviewing Alfons Heck was a member of the hitler youth, so therefore once again proves the point of it being bias beacause not all of Germanys population was a member of Hitler Youth. For example the Edelweiss pirates and Catholic church.

Thirdly Because it is only one part of the interview it was writen 51 years later so the person being interviewed might have forgotten things or might just lie to make himself look good in front of others or hitler because he was interviewed when hitler was still alive.
