Last year I think it was 145 for a 9 or something like that- it’s crazy high.
Last year I’m pretty sure that the paper was mostly based on the Weimar Republic, there was quite a lot of criticism from teachers and students alike.

Pretty sure you can get special consideration for the 3rd paper. I think that’s what it says on JCQ

I’m hoping it’s gonna be about the church! I’m not sure they’d ask an entire question about the constitution but that could certainly feature in the question about the unpopularity of the Weimar Republic

Q1 = Source A (published in the 80s by an author who grew up in the 20s/30s in Germany)
What can you infer about Nazi education
'In line with Nazi educational policies, there had been a lot of changes in
schools after the Nazis came to power in 1933. Some changes had hardly been
noticed, others had been introduced with a lot of publicity.
My neatly-dressed, well-behaved school friends did not question the new
books, the new songs, the new curriculum, or the new rules.
The number of Physical Training lessons was increased while the number of
lessons for Religious Education and other subjects was reduced.'

•

Q2) Explain why the Nazi party was reorganised in the years 1924-28

•

Q3a) How useful are Sources B and C for an enquiry into cultural changes in the Weimar Republic in the years 1924 - 28

•

Q3b and c) - same as always, 'whats the main difference' and 'why are they different'

•

Q3d) How far do you agree with Interpretation 2 about cultural changes in the Weimar Republic in the years 1924–29?

Source B: From an article published in the magazine Der Kreis, 1927. Der Kreis was a
German magazine about new trends in culture. It was published monthly from 1924–33.
Everything that we call progress has the single purpose of making people stronger, happier, and more cheerful. It might be the construction of a new sports arena or the introduction of films with sound in the cinema. The radio belongs to this progress as well. It fills the family’s long evening hours with entertainment and education. Besides this, the radio makes it
possible for every human being to feel they are a part of what is happening somewhere else in Germany. For example, someone living in Hamburg can be ‘present’ in the Cathedral Square in Cologne. As radio broadcasts can be heard by 200 000 listeners, radio has become a significant cultural factor.
Source C : - It's been redacted, so I'm unsure what it was :frown:

Interpretation 1:
From Germany, 1858–1990 by A Kitson, published in 2001.
Mass culture grew significantly in the 1920s. The number of newspapers increased. Radio, a new method of communication, began. Nationwide radio broadcasting began in 1923 and the number of listeners increased from 10 000
in 1924 to over 4 million by 1932. Cinema, an existing method of communication, expanded. By the end of the 1920s, Germany had more cinemas than any other European country. Germany also made more films in the 1920s and early 1930s than all the other European countries put together. Spectator sports, such as boxing and football, became more popular.
Interpretation 2:
From Germany in the Twentieth Century by P Sauvin, published in 1997.
It was a time when crime, sex and drugs became major problems in Berlin and in most other important German cities. Paintings were full of violent images. Films, plays and stories were written to shock people. Many of the themes were political. The cabaret singers in nightclubs sang about a society where people were free to do and say anything and were critical about Weimar politicians. German film directors produced horror films and films that were intended to challenge people’s ideas of right and wrong.

(FYI last years sources B,C and interpretations faced backlash from teachers, as much of the factual evidence that they were suggesting/implying you use is not included in the spec, such as radio/sport in the Golden Years.)
