"Hitler's Power"ZDF offers multimedia and teaching package on National Socialism
The three parts of the documentary - "The Rising", "The Ruler" and "The Destroyer" - try to find answers to questions that precede all three films:
- How could such a nobody rise to dictator in such a short time?
- What was the basis of his power?
- And what made so many Germans follow him into the abyss?
Digital Feature #HITLERS MAKE
In addition there is extensive accompanying material in the ZDF media centerhosted by Mirko Drotschmann, known online as "MrWissen2go Geschichte". Two digital features "#HITLERS MACHT - Warum Hitler Social Media geliebt hätte" and "#HITLERS MACHT - Die Psychologie der Mitläufer" experimentally delve into the topics of political propaganda and its socio-psychological impact as well as the emergence of (political) mass movements.
Serious Game - Your Island
The digital mini-game "Your Island" is a question-and-answer game that offers young users in particular the opportunity to build a small island society according to their own ideas, values and rules. A chatbot helps with questions: How should decisions be made, misconduct sanctioned or resources distributed?
The game helps to make transparent mechanisms that can challenge free societies or put them at risk. Here, too, the focus shifts to the question: How could a democracy in Germany become a dictatorship in 1933, and could it happen again today?
The island game can be accessed on mobile and stationary devices at: https://deine-insel.zdf.de
Teaching material
In addition, a methodological-didactic handout with materials for history classes or other contexts of historical-political education was created. The material consists of a basic module on the documentaries with history-related content and thematic in-depth modules for each of the three films in the trilogy.
The teaching material can be found here: https://www.zdf.de/dokumentation/terra-x/plus-schule-themenpaket-hitlers-macht-100.html
