Interpretation C: Adapted from an official biography of Adolf Hitler, published by the Nazi Party in 1934: Hitler shouted, Close the ranks! and linked arms with his neighbours. The body of the man with whom Hitler was linked shot up into the air like a ball, tearing Hitler s arm with him, so that it sprang from the joint and fell back limp and dead. Hitler approached the man and stooped over him. Blood was pouring Interpretation D: Adapted from Hitler by the historian Joachim Fest (1973). Fest grew up in an ordinary German family who resisted the Nazi regime. This extract covers what happened to Hitler the day after the Munich Putsch: (During the short gun battle) Hitler (was pulled) down, wrenching his arm out of joint amidst the hail of bullets while all were dropping to the ground. Ludendorff stalked upright, trembling with rage, through the police cordon. The day might possibly have ended differently had a small band of determined men followed him: but none wanted. Hitler scrambled up from the pavement and took (off), leaving behind 1. How does Interpretation D differ from Interpretation C about what happened at the Munich Putsch? 4 marks 5 mins 1-2 Level 1 You compare what the two sources are saying 3-4 Level 2 You explain how the content of the two sources are different You are looking at the content of the source & what it says (do not write about provenance). Write about the differences in views, facts & focus. Don t just compare what the sources are saying make sure you explain how the content of the sources is different. Sources A & B have different views/interpretations about.source A views the..whereas Source B focuses on... 02. Why might the authors of Interpretations C & D have different interpretations about what happened at the Munich Putsch? 4 marks 1-2 Level 1 You use the provenance of the sources and/or the motives of the author to identify reason/s for differences between the sources 3-4 Level 2 You analyse the provenance of the sources and/or the motives of the author to identify reason/s for differences between the sources 2 5 mins
Hints and tips Q2 You might consider why people arrive at interpretations of events. The authors may have a purpose in doing so, in view of who they are writing to (their intended audience). Equally other considerations include the context of their time of writing, where, their previous experience, knowledge, beliefs, circumstances, and access to information. The type of source could also be considered (cartoon, speech, newspaper etc) and how this might affect the message. You don t have to do all of these for top marks. 0 2 This question is looking for: analysis of the 2 sources & why the sources differ Look at provenance & context Provenance Historical Context How does the source/interpretation relate to your contextual knowledge of the historical period? Date/When was it produced? Is it an eye witness account? Was it produced later? Does it have the benefit of hindsight? Is it based on other sources? When? Who? Author? Previous experience? Circumstances? Access to info? Beliefs? Why was it produced? (motives) Why? What was its Purpose? (audience) Place? Where? Analyse the provenance of the source & motives of the author to identify differences between the sources. 03. Which interpretation do you find more convincing about what happened at the Munich Putsch? Explain your answer using Interpretations C & D & your contextual knowledge. 8 marks 1-2 Level 1 You show a basic understanding of the source/s, but limited knowledge 3-4 Level 2 You show understanding of the source/s by adding some own knowledge 5-6 Level 3 You show a clear understanding of both interpretations and you support this with clear factual knowledge of both sources 7-8 Level 4 As at Level 3, but you add a clear judgement as to which source is most convincing and why you think this. Hints and tips You must consider what you know that might affect the content of the interpretation. Do you know something about the events discussed? If so, does this make the interpretation more or less trustworthy or useful? For the highest marks you must make a clear judgement as to which is the more convincing interpretation and why. Do not just show off your knowledge; link it to the content of the source; does your knowledge support or challenge the interpretation? You will not gain marks if you write about the provenance of the sources but it is difficult to make a judgement without it (as in the first answer). 3
0 3 This question is asking you: How far do you agree with the source/interpretation? Content What is the source/interpretation saying? What is the message? Historical Context How does the source/interpretation relate to your contextual knowledge of the historical period? (Do not write about provenance) 4. Describe two ways in which Hitler reduced unemployment in Germany. 4 marks 1-2 Level 1 You state what you know about the topic 5 mins Hints and tips : This is not meant to be a mini essay, but 2 short paragraphs picking out the 2 features with some detail to show your knowledge. 5. In what ways were the lives of people in Germany affected by the Depression? Explain your answer. 8 marks 1-2 Level 1 You show changes at a basic level of knowledge or understanding 3-4 Level 2 You explain change/s simply using specific knowledge and understanding 5-6 Level 3 You explain how two or more changes came about using good factual knowledge and understanding 7-8 Level 4 As at Level 3 but you also develop your explanations of two or more changes by explaining why they took place Hints and tips: Here you need to pick out two or more changes that took place, and explain how and why they came about. Be careful to focus on the scope of the question. The better answers may link the changes together. Give 3 reasons & develop your answer, explain why/how. The lives of people were affected by.this was because...
6. Which of the following was a more important reason for Hitler & the Nazis coming to power in Germany in 1933: - The Wall Street Crash. - Nazi propaganda? Explain your answer with reference to both reasons 12 marks 15 mins 1-3 Level 1 You show a basic understanding of one/both of the bullet points 4-6 Level 2 You show a basic understanding of the bullet/s by using your knowledge to explain 7-9 Level 3 You show a clear understanding of both bullets and support this with clear factual knowledge in your explanation 10-12 Level 4 As at Level 3 but you also add a clear judgement as to which bullet is more important and why Hints and tips:you need to write about BOTH bullets or else you will not go beyond Level 2. Try to detail what you know and crucially how EACH bullet was important to the question. This should get you a solid Level 3. The judgement is the icing on the cake, and can be done at the start or the end. The judgement should be more than an assertion; it should also be explained. You must write about both bullet points. The question is asking you to evaluate the factors how important it was. Reach a judgement about how important it was. = DEA 5
