The question: To what extent and in what ways did racial ideology shape Nazi foreign and domestic policy from 1933 to 1945? Your answer should include: 1) Was Nazi racial policy in the 1930s directed solely against the Jews? Discuss, explaining what racial hygiene was and how it was linked to the Nazi goal of creating a national community (Volksgemeinschaft) and how it affected various groups in Germany in the 1930s (including the Jews); 2) Was Nazi Germany in the 1930s a totalitarian state that relied on coercion and terror to maintain control of the people or did Germans accept the Nazi government in part because they shared some of its core values and objectives? Discuss, indicating a) what the Nazi core values and objectives were, and b) giving specific examples of how Nazi economic, labor, and religious policies affected the public’s attitude toward the Nazi government; and 3) To what extent did Hitler’s racial ideology contribute to the outbreak of World War II and shape Nazi wartime policies? Discuss, explaining a) why Germany spent the first two years of the war fighting other countries when it viewed the Soviet Union as its ultimate enemy, and b) whether the Nazi war against Poland and the Soviet Union should be viewed as a continuation of “ordinary” war or as the implementation of a distinctly Nazi idea of a race war?
