    OCR History: Dictatorship and Democracy in Germany, 1933-1963
    Hi! I'm wondering if anyone has the January 2012 questions for this module.

    Also, I'm wondering how far is everyone in the course?

    Thanks!

    It's been a while since you posted and nobody's replied yet...maybe you should check out MarkedbyTeachers.com, TSR's sister site. It has the largest library of essays in the UK.

    They've got over 181,000+ coursework, essays, homeworks etc.. all written by GCSE, A Level, University and IB students across all topics. You get access either by publishing some of your own work, or paying £4.99 for a month's access. Both ways give you unlimited access to all of the essays.

    All their documents are submitted to Turnitin anti-plagiarism software, so it can't be misused, and the site's used by hundreds of thousands of UK teachers and students.

    What's more, you can take a look around the site and preview the work absolutely free. Click here to find out more...

    To be honest, not much really... I've just reading through examiners' reports. I've got an exam tomorrow so I'm focusing on that right now, but all through the weekend is history revision!

    Me too! I've got this exam tomorrow at 1.30pm crapping myself tbh, my teacher reckons The Holocaust will come up..cos it never has. Although we haven't learnt much cos my teacher taught us the wrong stuff for the first 3 months...then we got a new teacher cos our other history teacher disappeared..it was a mess!

    I'm gonna focus on Holocaust i.e "The Jewish Question" and GDR/FRD

    I thought it was okay once you thought about it properly! The wording of 4a was so weird

    I found 4a easier than b. B became quite repetitive for me & th4 couldn't bring much own knowledge in...

    That was all right in the end. 4)a was better than 4)b but overall the paper could been worse. Bit annoyed our teacher spent 90% of the year just telling us stories about the Nazis and then in the last 2 weeks we had to study post war Germany. Luckily I could remember the Berlin Uprising 1953 to use as my own knowledge but I couldn't remember much else, so I just kept talking about that.

    Yeah I thought 4a was so confusing at first. I had to reread it, but same I'm not sure whether I've interpreted it correctly.

    I talked about how it was typical for the GDR to blame the west, A was harsher than D, and then about how A came about after the June 1953 uprising so the GVT had to take a strong position where as D came after the wall so tensions eased a little; hence, source D was a bit calmer in language?

    My teacher did the same thing =.= we didn't start post-war Germany until after Easter I think or just before? Which is ridiculous as it's been post-war in the summer for the past few years...

    Yeah I wrote both were similar in blaming the west and they did not want them to influence society (I also added words such as "angry" and "contempt" since I was initially confused over the attitude thing. But yeah I mentioned source A was more exaggerated and the June Uprising too, but source D was after the Berlin Wall so they were able to allow some tolerance in the music.
