Explain why young people were important in Hitler’s plans for Germany(6)
Young people were important in Hitler’s plans for Germany because they were the next generation and would therefore carry on the Nazi ideology. The young people needed to be fully brainwashed into believing Nazi ideas were right so that when they were adults they would carry them on and pass them on to the children and so on.
Also, the boys would be soldiers, and the girls would produce the next generation of perfect Aryans. This was important to Hitler because this kept to Nazi ideas, and would prove especially important if another war occurred, because the boys would be fighting and the girls would be raising the next generation of soldiers who would then go off and fight for their country.
Another reason young people were important to Hitler’s plans was because if he could control young people then he could control every aspect of German life. The young people were probably the most important for Hitler to control because they would very soon be the adults, and if they didn’t follow the Nazi ideology then Hitler would not be able to control them or every aspect of life in Germany.
There's a six marker, I don't know how many marks it's worth. Here's a four marker as well, again I don't know how many marks it's worth but I feel like it may be full marks.
Describe the events of the ‘Night of the Long Knives’(4)
Hitler was worried about the SA and the power the leaders had. In June 1934 Hitler had the leaders of the SA arrested in the night of June 29th/ June 30th and then had seventy seven men executed for treason. The SA were then put under the control of the general army. Hitler did this to make sure he still had control of the SA and to make sure none of the leaders of the SA were planning to take over power.
