Part C: Nazi Social and Racial Policies Nazi control over German society made it possible for an attempt to be made to reshape peoples’ ideas and beliefs. This involved control over the school curriculum and over teaching staff. It also included control over what adults read and heard. The churches, whose ministers and priests preached rather different beliefs, found this a difficult situation and one that led to conflict. The Nazi racial views could now be enforced in an increasingly cruel manner. This section of the course will require notes on a number of aspects: 1. Serving the State This involves considering: (i) Service on public works for young people (ii) Nazi organisations for the young (iii) Re-shaping the school curriculum (iv) Purging the teaching profession (v) Nazi views on women’s roles in society. 2. Controlling the Churches? This involves considering: (i) The Nazi Concordat with the Pope (ii) Breaking the Concordat – Nazi interference in the Catholic Church (iii) Clashes with clergy (iv) The attempt to control the Protestant Churches (v) Niemoller and protest (vi) The Confessional Church and Nazi attacks on it. 3. Racial Policy This involves considering: (i) The nature of Nazi beliefs (ii) Early restrictions on Jews (iii) The Nuremberg Laws, 1935 (iv) Crystal Night (v) Further anti-Jewish measures. Issue to discuss Why was Nazi policy against Jewish people so little resisted? History: Germany: Versailles to the Outbreak of World War II - 1918-1939 (AH) 37
Part D: The Impact of Foreign Policy on Domestic Circumstances An overall knowledge and understanding of Nazi foreign policy up to the outbreak of the Second World War is essential for this section but should be seen not just in its own right but in terms of what is says about Hitler, about the nature of Nazism. This foreign policy tackled one of Hitler’s main causes – the desire to end the Treaty of Versailles – and his success here helped sustain his popularity in Germany. The needs of foreign policy affected the economy very directly. This section of the course will require notes on several aspects: 1. The Main Episodes in Foreign Policy 1933-39 This involves considering: (i) Leaving the League and the disarmament conference (ii) Non-aggression pact with Poland (iii) Recovery of the Saar (iv) Naval treaty with Britain (v) Occupation of the Rhineland (vi) Deals with Italy and Japan (vii) Union with Austria (viii) Sudeten Crisis and Munich (ix) Danzig, Poland and the Nazi-Soviet Pact. 2. The Impact of foreign Policy in Germany This involves considering: (i) Its effects on employment and the economy in terms of conscription and rearmament (ii) Effects on popular acceptance of the Nazi regime and its methods (iii) Its effects on the Army’s attitudes to Hitler (iv) Its effects on Hitler’s personal standing. Issue to debate The historian Tim Mason has argued that Hitler was ‘worried by the fear that if the period of peace and relative prosperity of the late 1930s were to continue for too long, the German people would lose what he imagined to be their sense of aggressive discipline, militarism and ideological fervour.’ From ‘Re-evaluating the Third Reich’ ed T Childers and J Caplan, 1993, Holmes and Meier What can be said for and against this view of Hitler’s aggressive foreign policy?
