HW 6

Connections From Film To Topic Three Themes. List Four.

1. Totalitarianism: the aim and the extent to which it was achieved.
-Hitler had complete control over what went on in his Nazi Germany. People under him didn't wish Hitler to follow through with his plan to evacuate Berlin, but have him stay. Trying to convince to do otherwise was useless. Hitler had made up his mind. His country, his rules. He was still venerated by his Nazi soldiers, displayed by their Hail when he walks into the room, despite most of them talking behind his back.

2. Form of government, (left and right-wing) ideology.
- When Berlin was about to be invaded and destroyed, Hitler's view was "Well now we can rebuild it." or something along those lines. His government was Totalitarian.

3. Nature extent and treatment of opposition.
-Opposing Hitler was treason, punishable by law. Treason is brought up in the movie when one of the guys, I forget his name, talks about going to the Allies to talk. Also, when Hitler's men are talking in the room before his birthday, none of them have influence over him except one man. Hitler didn't view most of these men as equals.

4. Status of women, treatment of religious groups and minorities.
-Women were working for Hitler as his recorders(?) when he dictated messages. Women also are seen wearing army uniforms, talking about defending the country. They were soldiers in the army during WWII. This was not seen very often.
