Explain how Weimar Germany became Nazi Germany. How was Germany transformed by 1939? What was the appeal of Nazism before and after its seizure of power?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Perhaps more than most questions, this essay tests the student's ability to be objective. Without whitewashing Nazism and Nazi Germany, students should understand the appeal of National Socialism to the average German in the post-Versailles world and during the Depression. Students should also be able to discuss the achievements of the Nazi regime while recognizing its inhumane character.
