One effect of the Reichstag fire was that it was exploited to target the communists. The new Nazi chief of police, Hermann Goering said that van der Lubbe had been part of a communist anti-government plot, and that the Nazis should seize this opportunity to destroy communist opposition. On the night of the fire, 4,000 communist leaders were arrested.
Another effect of the Reichstag fire was that Hitler was able to increase his own personal power. On 28 February, Hitler persuaded Hindenburg to pass a new emergency decree - the 'Decree for the Protection of the People and State'. This gave police the power to search homes and imprison anyone they arrested without trial. The police were also able to ban meetings and close newspapers, and Goering used the decree to take over the state radio station.

Thanks again so much!
One effect of the March 1933 election was that there was an increase in SA violence. Goering began to replace police officers with Nazi supporters, and recruited 50,000 SA members to be police auxiliaries. As a result, Hitler was effectively in control of the police force, so SA violence did not stop. In fact, during the election campaign, political violence led to around 70 deaths.
Another effect of the March 1933 election was an increase in Nazi seats. Measures with SA enabled the Nazis to win many new seats in the Reichstag and the Nazis were now the largest party, however, they did not have a majority and this meant that their measures could be voted down by other parties. As a result, Hitler wanted to bring in a new law which would give him unlimited powers and allow him to pass laws without asking the Reichstag, namely the enabling act.

I always struggle with six markers, this structure is super helpful

I always struggle with six markers, this structure is super helpful
No problem, I'm glad you find it helpful. Just to solidify your understanding, here's my response to the 6 marker from the November 2021 paper:
Extract C: From A History of Germany, published in 2000.
The politicians of the Weimar Republic had no choice but to sign the Treaty of Versailles, even though there was little support for it amongst the German people. Von Hindenburg was advising a committee of the German Parliament about the treaty. Even he said it was shameful and should not be signed. The signing of the treaty was seen by many Germans as ‘anti-patriotic’ and as a ‘stab in the back’. These accusations were widely accepted and this significantly damaged the Republic’s reputation.
(a) What impression does the author give about reactions to the Treaty of Versailles?
You must use Extract C to explain your answer. (6)
Answer:
The author gives a negative impression about the reactions to the Treaty of Versailles. The author's tone is negative/critical/damning, as he states: '...there was little support for it [Weimar Republic]', and 'Even he [Von Hindenburg] said it was shameful'. Adding on, the author's language is negative/critical/damning, and this can be seen by the use of words such as 'little support', 'shameful' and 'damaged'.
However, the author fails to mention that signing the treaty was necessary to maintain peace. The allies threatened to restart the war if the Germans did not sign it, and it was obvious that Germany could not fight anymore, and so signing the treaty was the best available option in order to end the war so that Germany was not occupied.

I think so… I have it as part of the Nazi policies to do with employment? We also learnt it at school and I’m pretty sure it’s in the textbook?
