(b) Evaluate Hitler’s role in the Nazi state between 1933 and 1939.
How would i go about answering this question? I don't know where to begin and any help will be very appreciated
Hey! So for something like this, I think you would need to talk about the range of historian's perspectives about Hitler and his role. For example, much debate stemmed around whether or not he was directly involved in the policy and decision making of the state. A few other things you could talk about:
- Intentionalism: did Hitler intentionally manipulate the state as he saw fit?
- Delegation: why did Hitler avoid making major decisions, passing them off to high ranking officials like Himmler?
- Leadership: was he actually a strong, decisive leader? or could he be easily manipulated by the people around him? I'd talk about his personality here too
I hope this helps! Let us know if there is anything else you need help with ^.^
