Hiya, what band would this paragraph fall into do you reckon? here is the paragraph and the mark scheme! Thank you so much!

Finally, it will be argued that Nazi propaganda was the most effective method used to control the people in the years 1933-45. This was due to the fact that it shaped perceptions of the regime , and Hitler, increased support for it and was reinforced by Censorship, and Repression- thus highlighting how it was the most important factor. Propaganda was extremely important to the Nazis, it was the way in which perceptions were shaped about it, and by having a censored media, they were able to freely promote content about the regime without facing any oppositional forms of it. The main way in which imagery about the regime was spread was through Radio. In 1933 when Hitler was elected as Chancellor, ‘Sig Heil’ was blared loudly through the radios, in a loud, and blaring manner. Rather than being like this in person, it was a way to glorify the regime, and without any opposing viewpoints, it was the only thing that people saw. The fact that by 1943 1/3 of Germans, including workers had Radios (the people receiver, that had a weak signal and demonised Jews), would have further allowed the regime to reinforce these perceptions as by having a wide reach over society, the messaging and propagated media, that glorifies Hitler and demonises Jews and communists was spread. Workers did not have an opportunity to experience these technology forms, and the fact that through schemes such as the KDF, they could win rewards such as radios, promoted in another form, the regime, and as such people were more ascribed to the policy of it, as there was material rewards for the individuals. Furthermore, this propaganda was seen through welfare. Through the NSV, the Nazis set up 10,000 creches that were used to indoctrinate children from a young age, as there were, as has been mentioned already, no oppositional forces, these children feverently believed these views, and as such from a young age, the positive perception of the regime through propagated messaging was being indoctrinated into children under the title of a ‘welfare programme’. The fact that it was a welfare programme furthermore adds a popular appeal as by mothers being able to acquire, cheap or even free childcare, they again are much more likely to support the regime and what they stand for. However, when the Nazi party could not deliver on their propaganda promises, popular support began to fall among the regime. This was particularly evident in the Guns and Butter debate in which Hitler had famously turned his back on the ‘Work and Bread’ Policies. Yet, this was merely one instance of a failed form of propaganda, and in spite of that, the Nazis still managed to retain their popular appeal through their 20% wages increase and cultural opportunities through the Work Through Joy programme. As such this highlights why it was the most effective method used to control the people, as propaganda simultaneously kept people in check through positive perceptions of the regime, whilst also providing opportunities for individuals through KDF and the NSV, that further shaped these perceptions. In relation to my criteria of opposition, this very effectively fulfils this criteria as by these positive perceptions being in place regarding the regime, there was minimal opposition, and all opposition that there was shunned via repression. This highlights that whilst repression was important therefore, it was in aid of the propagated messaging, as it was seen as a ‘necessary evil’ to be able to keep society safe from the Jews and the Communists.

HERE IS THE MARK SCHEME

-Level Mark Descriptor
0 No rewardable material.
1 1–3 • Simple or generalised statements are made about the topic.
• Some accurate and relevant knowledge is included, but it lacks range
and depth and does not directly address the question.
• The overall judgement is missing or asserted.
• There is little, if any, evidence of attempts to structure the answer, and
the answer overall lacks coherence and precision.
2 4–7 • There is limited analysis of some key features of the period relevant to
the question, but descriptive passages are included that are not clearly
shown to relate to the focus of the question.
• Mostly accurate and relevant knowledge is included, but lacks range or
depth and has only implicit links to the demands and conceptual focus of
the question.
• An overall judgement is given but with limited substantiation and the
criteria for judgement are left implicit.
• The answer shows some attempts at organisation, but most of the
answer is lacking in coherence, clarity and precision.
3 8–12 • There is some analysis of, and attempt to explain links between, the
relevant key features of the period and the question, although
descriptive passages may be included.
• Mostly accurate and relevant knowledge is included to demonstrate some
understanding of the demands and conceptual focus of the question, but
material lacks range or depth.
• Attempts are made to establish criteria for judgement and to relate the
overall judgement to them, although with weak substantiation.
• The answer shows some organisation. The general trend of the argument
is clear, but parts of it lack logic, coherence and precision.
4 13–16 • Key issues relevant to the question are explored by an analysis of the
relationships between key features of the period, although treatment of
issues may be uneven.
• Sufficient knowledge is deployed to demonstrate understanding of the
demands and conceptual focus of the question and to meet most of its
demands.
• Valid criteria by which the question can be judged are established and
applied in the process of coming to a judgement. Although some of the
evaluations may be only partly substantiated, the overall judgement is
supported.
• The answer is generally well organised. The argument is logical and is
communicated with clarity, although in a few places it may lack
coherence and precision.
5 17–20 • Key issues relevant to the question are explored by a sustained analysis
of the relationships between key features of the period.
• Sufficient knowledge is deployed to demonstrate understanding of the
demands and conceptual focus of the question, and to respond fully to its
demands.
• Valid criteria by which the question can be judged are established and
applied and their relative significance evaluated in the process of
reaching and substantiating the overall judgement.
• The answer is well organised. The argument is logical and coherent
throughout and is communicated with clarity and precision.---
