HSC Modern History Question Thread
Belkelly:
Hi Jake,
Thanks so much for the WW1 sards. I find them really helpful! I've just started HSC modern history and wondered if there was a way to do SARDS for the other subjects such as Advanced English and Biology.
Did you do Sards for these subjects also?
Thanks :) loving Atar notes!

Hey Belkelly!
I think it is a great idea to treat other subjects as though they have SARDEs, and the write worksheets for them accordingly. I didn't do that, only because I discovered the worksheet method very late in the year, but I would strongly recommend you write some yourself! If you wanted help editing them or anything like that, please post on the forums.
I'm glad you enjoyed the resource!
Jake

Hey!
I'm working on the essay "Evaluate Hitler’s role in the Nazi state between 1933 and 1939" but I'm not sure what to include/how to structure the answer. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hey Sarah! You need to make an opinion here, and this is a really cool question because you could go either way and be right! Personally, I argue that Hitler's role in the Nazi state was important but not conclusive. I specifically give mention to the propaganda ministry for their role in perpetuating Fuhrerprinzip and creating the complete atomisation of society through strict maintenance of propaganda. Hitler simply would not have the power that he did if the propaganda ministry wasn't strong.
The Gestapo, SS and SA also played an enormous role in the Nazi state. I mean, they created utter terror in the state. They were the brutal enforcement of everything Hitler had to say.
Don't forget, that the Nazi state was a polycratic government. Some historians argue that Hitler was just a figure head, others argue he made the biggest decisions and therefore was extremely important.
The dotpoint on totalitarianism will help you with this question. To me, the Nazi state simply could not have existed in the way it did, if it did not extensively use terror and propaganda! To me, Hitler was the figurehead of the fuhrerprinzip idea but I believe he was easily distracted by side projects, like the architecture he worked on with Albert Speer.
This is simply my opinion, of course, but I'm showing you how you can argue this. Perhaps you think that Hitler was the most important person in all of this and could have worked independently of all other help?
Hopefully this assists you a bit!
Remember, the question asks you to evaluate. So you definitely need to form an opinion and argue it! :)
