Valkyrie 2008 and and Downfall 2004 The Hitler Situation in Germany Essay

I’m working on a history report and need a sample draft to help me understand better.

For this essay, you must use the documents attached with and watch two movies: Valkyrie (2008, dir. B. Singer) and Downfall (2004, dir. O. Hirschbiegel).

Answer the questions in an essay format:

Explain why it was so difficult for those who opposed Hitler to remove him from power even though many could see over time that Hitler made many mistakes and sacrificed German lives unnecessarily. Looking at the outcomes of WW2, what do you think could have changed for Europe and Germany had the Operation Valkyrie been successful (focus on the date of the attempt and where the front was at that time; also focus on who was behind the attempt – what does it tell you about the opposition)? Why even though Hitler could see he was losing the war, he continued to sacrifice German soldiers in vain?

Finally, explain how the post-WW1 agreements and the Great Depression contributed to him assuming the leadership in Germany and how the Allies made sure no other dictator would take over the power in Germany after WW2.
