GERMANY 1918 - 1945: NELSON MODERN HISTORY

Germany 1918–1948 has been developed especially for senior secondary students of History and is part of the Nelson Modern History series. Each book in the series is based on the understanding that History is an interpretive study of the past by which you also come to better appreciate the making of the modern world.

The Stahlhelm (steel helmet) was introduced to the German Army in early 1916 as a protective helmet. Replacing earlier cloth and leather headgear such as the Pickelhaube, the Stahlhelm has become a potent symbol of German militarism in the first half of the 20th century. During the 1920s the right-wing veteran’s organisation, Der Stahlhelm, Bund der Frontsoldaten, which became the paramilitary wing of the German National People’s Party and was later absorbed into the SA, used the helmet as both its name and symbol. With the establishment of the Third Reich, the Stahlhelm continued to be used by the German Wehrmacht but it was also used by the Schutzstaffel, the SS, as shown here in a photograph taken at the Nuremberg Party rally in 1938.

Developing understandings of the past and present in senior History extends on the skills you learnt in earlier years. As senior students you will use historical skills, including research, evaluation, synthesis, analysis and communication, and the historical concepts, such as evidence, continuity and change, cause and effect, significance, empathy, perspectives and contestability, to understand and interpret societies from the past. The activities and tasks in Germany 1918–1948 have been written to ensure that you develop the skills and attributes you need in senior History subjects.
