Unit Outline
This unit is a depth study from Paper 1 and it covers the period of German history between the First and Second World Wars. It analyses the attempts to create a new democratic society in Germany out of the post-war turmoil which ended with the Wall Street Crash of 1929. Attention is then paid to the rise of the Nazi party and the tactics it used to undermine Democracy in order to create a Dictatorship led by Adolf Hitler. Life in Hitler's Germany is also analysed as is Germany during the Second World War, ending his suicide in May 1945.
