Answer 1

1) No - massive public works programmes hid unemployment but Hitler always knew that war must come soon as it was the only way for the German economy to continue. Otherwise it would have bankrupted itself.

2)Yes - by 1939 Germany was ready to sweep aside all the available opposition. Its tanks & airforce were of superior quality.

3)Yes - both internally & externally, many had bought into the "Nazi miracle". This was achieved by Goebbels' brilliant spin but also through the visible achievements of those massive public works programmes (the autobahns for instance). In Germany, many who would never have been anti-semitic were only too happy to accept that the Jews were responsible for all of Germany's past misfortune, particularly the Versailles Treaty that ended WW1 (manufactured into a "betrayal" in Nazi legend).

4)Some success - good relations with Japan (though not as solid as Germany possibly thought), Western allies more or less bought off with promises & the main achievement was a non-aggression pact with the Soviet Union. Many other countries were however treated with contempt & regarded (if at all) as potential resource providers after invasion.

5)Once the Nazi party's internal opposition (the SA led by Ernst Rohm) had been sidestepped (by Rohm's arrest & execution, along with hundreds of others), there was no opposition. The SPD party (socilaists) had moved abroad & just published critical articles from a distance.

Answer 2

I think using the words stable and Hitler in a sentence is always a mistake, The reich was on the other hand strong, and successful in what they wanted to accomplish in that era, unfortunately for a minagery of groups. as far as the economy they were still rebuilding after WWI and were making progress, Though I think in such a militaristic situation the economy can only grow so much, too much money is flowing to the central government to pay for the military. Rearmament was a huge success, they built such prohibited things as planes and tanks without so much as a blink from the west. As far as propaganda, it was successful on the german homefront to be sure, and somewhat effective internationally, Hitler conned the allies and the American ppl especially out of challenging him for years with his propaganda. Foreign policy was a double edged sword, he had almost no diplomatic ties to the west and any he had with the soviets was a farce on both sides, neither trusted one another for long after the non-aggression pact, though Stalin was much more naive thatn Hitler was on this point. Opposition? Well they pretty much crushed any home grown opposition, and I thnk we all know how his opposition to the west turned out.

Answer 3

It was alright depending on who you were

If you were disabled, homosexual, Jewish, a gypsy, and anything that contradicted what his idea of an 'ideal world' and the 'aryan race' then you weren't ok.

Lots of propaganda, and they even started to brainwash the kids at school, making them sign up for the Hitler Youth and the girls had to sign up for the female equivalent.. the something maidens .. I can't remember the name. It was like a programme to keep all the kids active and being taught all about what Hitler wanted, making them believe that it was the way forward.
Children were also encouraged to grass on their parents, say if their mums or dads said something against Hitler.

Nothing was printed in the newspaper and nothing was aired on the radio stations unless it had been approved by one of Hitler's right hand men. (the guy that was in charge of propganda later was murdered)

Opposition? not much. the average German family was not exactly happy, but as the rate of uneployment went down they could only complain about the way they were being sort of oppressed.. but they couldn't even complain about that because of what would happen to them should they get caught. all of the people that Hitler himself opposed were killed and didn't have much of a say in anything. and any people that Hitler suspected had ANY way of overpowering him were killed too -- look up the Reichstag Fire.

That is just off the top of my head though!

Answer 4

yes it was. The economy was booming for Germany, particularly due to the rearmament. Arms industry is always good for the economy as it creates lots of jobs. The economy for Germany had been in terrible shape in the '20s after WW I, and of course the depression that started in 1929 hurt as well, but Germany rebounded in the mid-30s. The propaganda machine was very strong, which is why it made it easier for people to beleive in conspiracy theories surrounding Jews, which weren't true. Foreign policy was strong since others around them weren't as strong economically or in terms of military strength, so people weren't as inclined to stand up to them. They were able to get their own way. They had little opposition as they strongarmed any one who stood up against them. People were afraid to stand up to the Nazis as they could see what happened to Jews, gypsies and any who opposed them, so the opposition was quiet. Even the Lutheran church was very quiet, as the state church, and those such a Deitrich Bonhoffer worked quietly against Hitler's regime, facing death as a result.
There are lots of materials out there. Part of the problem was that people were reluctant to speak out against the problems and the injustices because of the economic and military strength. When people are getting fed, they are more reluctant to speak against injustice.

Answer 7

Like with most academic questions it depends on who you read.
Always go for the writers that are popular with the lecturers of your course. Try to find at least 2 points of view and quote them.
There are no short answers to learning the only way really to understand anything is to do it yourself.
But I agree with most of what the others have said.

Answer 8

In the terms that you mention yes and there is a raft of stuff on the net. Don't forget to include the incarceration and murder of Jew, Homosexuals, Gypsies, Religious minoritis, Disabled , Political Oppostion etc.

Answer 9

Read "Inside the Third Riech" by Albert Speer. It should answer all your questions.

Answer 10

His regime was great if you were not a Jew, mentally retarded, a homosexual, or non-German. It was great until after the war.

As for the rest of your requests..... as a teacher, I suggest you do your own homework!
