Situation 1:

It is 1933. You are now Chancellor. But the Nazis still did not have total power. You needed more.

Situation 2:

It is 1933. The Reichstag has caught fire. You realised this was the perfect opportunity to eliminate your rivals. Furthermore, a Dutchman has been arrested near the Reichstag, supposedly for committing arson, as part of a communist effort. You quickly convince President Hindenburg to invoke Article 48, consequently suspending civil liberties, which allowed you to beat up anyone who did not agree with you.

Situation 3:

It is still 1933. Now that the communist party has been eliminated, you want to pass the Enabling Act, which allows you to pass laws without any permission from the President. You decide that there would be a day of public voting for the introduction of the Enabling Act.

Situation 4:

It is the day of voting. You have ordered your personal bodyguards and army (SS and SA respectively) to surround the building, only allowing Nazi supporters to pass through.

Summary:
Hitler managed to gain full authority in Nazi Germany because he took advantage of circumstances (Reichstag Fire and Enabling Act 1933) to consolidate power.

Under his own rule, Hitler obviously did benefit.

Situation 1:

It is 1934. The New Plan has been established. Under this new plan, war-related companies (e.g. oil, coal, explosives, steels) were subsidised heavily.

Situation 2:

The Nazi government has offered a valuable deal with you in exchange for goods. The Nazi government has also banned workers from negotiating for increased wages and controlled their free time.

Situation 3:

It is 1936. Goering’s Four Year Plan has been put into action. This means that theNazi Party (then known as the National Socialist German Workers' Party) is now gearing up for WW2, which means war-related industries are going to be heavily involved, including yours. Massive amounts of oil have been brought from your companies.

Situation 1:

You were unemployed after WW1. Through the Nazi policy of conscription (compulsory enlistment to the army), you were employed to build weapons. This provided you with some money.

Situation 2:

You have been working for awhile now. Under the ‘Strength Through Joy’ scheme, the Nazi provided cheap entertainment. You noticed that all entertainment forms were of German culture only. Movies, songs, and even poems, were no longer diverse.

Situation 3:

Trade unions have been destroyed. You and all your fellow workers have been forced to join the DAF (German Work Front), which unites all workers. Under the DAF, no strikes nor negotiations for increased wages were allowed. Your friend, who retaliated, was arrested by the Gestapo for being disloyal to the Nazis.

Situation 1:

You are a businessman. You were doing extremely well until Hitler came to rule. Under the Nazi, all Jewish-owned businesses were branded with the Star of David. People stopped patronizing these shops (boycotting).

Situation 2:

It is 1938. A young Jewish boy has shot a Nazi diplomat. Hitler orders his men to destroy all Jewish shops and steal precious goods from the stores. Your store is one of it. Synagogues have been burned. Many of your family members, who played no part in the shooting, have been arrested and sent to concentration camps.

Situation 3:

It is 1942. The Nazi leaders have called for the ‘Final Solution’ to kill all Jews because the Jews are the “cause” for Germany’s sorry plight after WW1. Death camps have been built for mass killing. All Jews have been ordered to wear the Star of David.

Situation 4:

Your wife has been captured by the Nazis. You last heard she was forced to march to a death camp. You never saw again.

Situation 1:

You were unemployed after WW1. Through Nazi policies, you were employed as a construction worker to build infrastructures. This provided you with some money.

Situation 2:

You have been working for awhile now and have some savings. You decide that you could now afford to buy a car, which Hitler made very affordable only under the ‘Strength Through Joy’ scheme.

Situation 3:

Under the ‘Strength Through Joy’ scheme, the Nazi also provided cheap entertainment. You could now bring your family to watch movies, something that you could barely do before Hitler came to rule.

Group 4: MEMBER OF OPPOSING POLITICAL PARTY

Situation 1:

Hitler has formed two forces – his personal bodyguard (the Schutzstaffel a.k.a SS), and a secret police force (Gestapo). The SS helms death camps that are set up by the Nazis to kill people who were not loyal to Nazism, including Germans. The Gestapo, helmed by Himmler, is given unlimited authority to arrest anyone without trial.

Situation 2:

A member of your party has been arrested by the Gestapo. He was forced to march himself to a concentration camp. That was the last you ever heard from him.

Situation 3:

The Nazi Party has used propaganda to encourage children to report their parents to the Gestapo if they criticized Hitler or the Nazi party. Your child is only 7. You are worried.

Situation 1:

It is 1933. Jews are being persecuted and arrested by the Nazis. As a social worker, many underprivileged people seek help from you.

Situation 2:

You have just seen a worrying Maths question in a school textbook. It is not because the question is difficult, but rather…

The cost to build a mental hospital costs 6 million. How many houses (15,000 each) could have been built for that amount?

Think about this after reading the question:

How old were the children who attempted this question?

What impressions were formed after children completed this question?

Is this a form of propaganda?

Situation 3:

You overheard a Nazi official saying that the Gestapo (Hitler’s secret police force) have been tasked to arrest homosexuals and they are going to be castrated as punishment for being a homosexual.

Situation 1:

Your mother was once a politician in Weimar Germany. After Hitler came to rule, she lost her job because Nazis believed that women should only be child-bearing machines.

Situation 2:

Your sister, who turns 19 this year, was excited to head to university to study Biology (her passion). Upon the Nazi rule, her admission was revoked. Instead, she was sent by the Nazis to learn about the 3Cs : church, children, and cook.

Situation 3:

School has been canceled permanently. You are forced to join the Hitler Youth (a youth military army). You are being groomed to be the future leaders of the SS. In case of future warfare, you have no choice but to sacrifice your life to serve and fight.
