We continued our examination of Hitler today, by watching Part 1 of the
A & E Biography of Hitler called
"The Fatal Attraction of Adolf Hitler". We'll watch Part 2 tomorrow. As you watched this documentary, you were supposed to take notes. This documentary will help you understand the historical context of Hitler's rise to power in Germany. Please continue to
edit your assigned Google Doc to prepare for this Friday's Paper 2 on Hitler and/or Stalin.
You MUST study historiography for both of these dictators too, and you can find Google Slides/PowerPoint presentations on the wiki on the "Dictatorships" page.
