  1. GCSE Revision Tests GERMANY WRITTEN SOURCE QUESTION PRACTICE 1. To achieve your potential in your GCSE’s, you need to master the skills needed to answer thoroughly both the source and essay questions. The skills you practise through this presentation will equip you with these skills. Try the tasks as you go through the PowerPoint- “think before you click”.

  2. GCSE Revision Tests BEFORE YOU START- REMEMBER! This is a worked example of a source question. It picks out every part and covers all those parts in its answer. It is written by members of staff, not GCSE students- so don’t panic that you have to do all these things to pass your GCSE! This presentation is training you on the skills you need- you would only have to pick out 2-3 points from the source to achieve a high mark. Check the mark scheme on a later slide to remind you of what you need to do to achieve your target grade.

  3. GCSE Revision Tests THE SOURCE: If we had no direct knowledge of misery in war time, we did when the French arrived. Traffic was at a stand-still, food became scarce, and the behaviour of the French army was brutal. We all knew that none of us would ever salute a French officer. No one travelled on the railway which was run by the French. Several Germans helped them and we considered them to be traitors. To use the railway would have been treason in our eyes. A description of the French occupation of the Ruhr in 1923. It comes from a book called “Why Hitler Came to Power” by an SA Officer, published in 1938.

  11. GCSE Revision Tests “...the treatment of the French army was brutal” The writer is suggesting that the French’s occupation was a violent one

  12. GCSE Revision Tests “...considered them to be traitors...would have been treason in our eyes” The writer is suggesting that their was great hatred towards the French, and they were seen as the enemy.

  13. GCSE Revision Tests A description of the French occupation of the Ruhr in 1923. It comes from a book called “Why Hitler Came to Power” by an SA Officer, published in 1938. The provenance of the source tells us two things: 1- it was published fifteen years after the event 2- It was written by an SA Officer- most likely a passionate Nazi.

  14. GCSE Revision Tests “...food became scarce...”The writer of the source is suggesting that basic necessities such as food were unavailable during this time.

  15. GCSE Revision Tests • TASK THREE: • What do I know that can add to the quality of my answer? • Think about: • The Invasion of the Ruhr • The SA • Books in Nazi Germany

  16. GCSE Revision Tests • TASK THREE: • What do I know that can add to the quality of my answer? • The Invasion of the Ruhr- Took place in 1923, when French troops occupied the Industrial region of the Ruhr, after Germany failed to meet reparation payments. Germany’s response was Passive Resistance, where German civilians were urged to refuse to co-operate with French troops in any way. • The SA- the Nazi Party’s army until 1934- SA soldiers were fiercely loyal to Hitler and the cause of the Nazis. • Books in Nazi Germany- All media was censored by Josef Goebbels and the “Ministry of National Enlightenment”. Therefore any book published during this time would have had to be passed by them.

  17. GCSE Revision Tests TASK FOUR Now you’ve completed these three tasks- you’re ready to answer the question. Click to see a generic mark scheme.

  18. GCSE Revision Tests REMEMBER-E: Make a general assertion about French occupation of the Ruhr, no mention of how useful it might be. D: Highlight from the source information about the French occupation of the Ruhr. C: Identifies from source OR own knowledge how useful this account might be. B: Uses source AND own knowledge to answer question; EXPLAINS how useful this source is to a historian. A: Source and own knowledge INTEGRATED together to answer the question; DETAILED EXPLANATION of the sources use, and its potential bias. A*: All aspects of ‘A’ grade included, with clear explanation of why these two this source can be treated as a subjective piece of information.

  19. GCSE Revision Tests TASK FOUR Why not give it a go? Your teacher could look over it for you after! The source is on the next slide, and after that you can compare it with a model answer!

  20. GCSE Revision Tests THE SOURCE: If we had no direct knowledge of misery in war time, we did when the French arrived. Traffic was at a stand-still, food became scarce, and the behaviour of the French army was brutal. We all knew that none of us would ever salute a French officer. No one travelled on the railway which was run by the French. Several Germans helped them and we considered them to be traitors. To use the railway would have been treason in our eyes. A description of the French occupation of the Ruhr in 1923. It comes from a book called “Why Hitler Came to Power” by an SA Officer, published in 1938.

  21. GCSE Revision Tests This account would be of some use to someone studying the French occupation of the Ruhr. The source tells us of the “misery” during this time. After failing to pay the reparations owed to France under the Treaty of Versailles, the industrial region of the Ruhr was occupied by French troops. The source tells us of what life was like at this time, of how “food became scarce, and the behaviour of the French army was brutal.” It also talks of how “none of us would ever salute a French officer” or use “the railway which was run by the French”. This is talking of Passive Resistance, the government’s response to the Occupation of the Ruhr, where German citizens refused to cooperate with the French troops. However, we must be careful when using this source to learn about the French occupation of the Ruhr. It was written by an SA officer as a part of a book on “Why Hitler came to power”. The SA were Hitler’s personal army, fiercely loyal to Hitler, and determined to further the cause of the Nazis. Also, by 1938 the Nazis were firmly in control of all forms of Media, and only books which put the Nazis in a positive light were acceptable. Therefore we know that this source could potentially be biased, and when it talks of those who helped the French as “traitors”, or as committing “treason”. So although this source does contain some interesting information regarding the French occupation of the Ruhr, you cannot completely trust it because of who wrote it.
