Germany: 1933-1945 - Life In Nazi Germany, 1933-1939
In GCSE History students will look at Germany between the two World Wars. One area studied is what life was like in 1930s Nazi Germany under Adolf Hitler.
After Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933 the Nazi Party began to make their mark on more and more aspects of life in Germany. There were some improvements - such as the autobahns - but for those who did not fit in with Nazi ideology, life under Adolf Hitler could be very hard indeed.
