This fascinating enquiry is designed to tackle the difficult interpretations questions on the AQA Germany period study.
It helps dispel the myth that the Gestapo were everywhere, spying on everyone.
It looks at a quote from the historian Jacque DeLaRue, who suggests that the Nazi secret police were omnipresent, and the view of the documentary maker, Laurence Rees who thinks that the Gestapo were not. Who is correct?
Your students handle lots of clues to help them decide. Where do the clues go on a spectrum?
They then select evidence to prove which historian they think is right. But does the information prove that the other historian is wrong? They finish by seeing how to answer an interpretations style question for either AQA or Edexcel.
This tried and tested approach really makes your students think.
