Answer to the compare and contrast question from the following



Study Sources 2 and 3.
How different are Sources 2 and 3? Explain your answer.

Possible response 
Sources 2 and 3 are different in telling us whether Hitler’s support was forced out of people or was his support willingly provided. Source 2 tells us that Hitler’s support was forced out of people as Source 2 states that a German Communist unwillingly made the Hitler Salute when he was forced to do so by several Brown Shirts. On the other hand, Source 3 states that “Most people” wore edelweiss emblem which showed that they had contributed to the Hitler birthday fund. This means that many people had contributed to his fund which indicates that people willingly gave him support. 


Sources 2 and 3 are similar in telling us that the public display of affection and support for Hitler was carried out in a grand fashion.  Source 2 states that Nazi nurses were carrying banners in public support of Hitler. Likewise, Source 3 states that Hitler’s birthday was celebrated with great pomp and pageantry with Birthday cakes with Hitler’s face on it and his posters pasted all over the town. This means that German’s displayed their affections for Hitler in a very grand and public fashion.
