Question 7

How useful are Sources B and C and Interpretation D for a historian studying the establishment of the Nazi dictatorship between January and July 1933? In your answer, refer to the two sources

and the interpretation as well as your own knowledge.

Source B – The image and headline from a Nazi newspaper, published on 1 March 1933. The words have been translated into English below.

Figure for question 7

Communists set Reichstag alight – Communist arsonists arrested – Signs of a Communist uprising – Increased measures against the terrorists – All Communist MPs arrested – All Communist newspapers banned

Source C – An extract from an article entitled ‘A walk through Dachau Concentration Camp’, published in a local German newspaper in June 1933.

The former Dachau Powder Factory has become a modern camp for political prisoners. Where grass and weeds once grew, neat paths have now been laid. We visited a row of barracks, and everywhere we saw the same picture: cleanliness, order, light and air. The prisoners work gladly and willingly and most of them are probably happy to have an orderly life, good food, and a roof over their heads. For those unclean people who oppose the Nazi Volk community, one term hangs over their head like a looming sword: concentration camp.
