    2 Answer Question 1 and either Question 2 or Question 3. 1 Study the following source material and then answer the questions which follow. Source A 5 Berlin, September 2, 1934 I miss the old Berlin, the carefree civilized air. Now the constant Heil Hitlers, clicking of heels, troopers or black-coated S.S. guards marching up and down the street irritate me, though there are not nearly so many brownshirts about since the S.A. purge. A colleague and I have had some walks and twice have had to duck into stores to avoid either having to salute the standard of some passing S.A. or S.S. battalion or getting beaten up for not doing so.

    Source B

    The main reason for support was the personal popularity of Hitler. He offered something different to each class and struck a chord with the widespread disillusionment with the Weimar Republic. But the main reason for his popularity and this may seem surprising was that he was seen as a moderate. After all, he made sure that his political changes were technically constitutional. There was considerable unease about the Nazi movement, especially its thuggish tendencies, but Hitler was perceived as a moderate who would tame the radicals. For this reason he was seen practically as a hero after the Night of the Long Knives in 1934.

    Hitler began by giving a detailed account of the origin and suppression of Rhms S.A. plot. The Reich Chancellor stressed that lightning action had been necessary, otherwise many thousands of people would have been in danger of being wiped out. The Defence Minister thanked the Fhrer in the name of the Reich Cabinet and the army for his courageous action, which had saved the German people from civil war. The Fhrer had shown greatness as a statesman and a soldier. This had aroused in the hearts of the Cabinet and the whole German people a vow of devotion and loyalty in this grave hour.
