History·Depth Study C — Germany, 1918–1945 · NSSCO 5.3.3d
Life in Nazi Germany
Narrated lesson · press play
In this final lesson, we ask what it was actually like to live in Nazi Germany. We'll look at how the Nazis shaped young people through the Hitler Youth and schools, their policies towards women and the family, and their economic policies that cut unemployment but drove rearmament. We'll weigh whether ordinary Germans really benefited, see how the Second World War transformed daily life, and confront the regime's ultimate crime — the Final Solution.
