You need to make a judgement on Hitler's role, was he the center of everything (the fuhrer) or just lazy and relied on other party members. is really the hardest part of the syllabus.

Focus on Racial Policy, Totalitarianism, Weimar's Political Social Economic Issues - ALL havent been asked in 6-9 years

I did this essay and my approach was similar to the "Nazism as totalitarianism" question. I went for a mixed response like this:

Thesis: Hitler played a central role in the Nazi state and had near total control, but he didnt always exert his power and he lacked economic power
Point One: Hitler was in charge and no one really contested his power (i.e. Fuhrerprincip)
Point Two: Hitler was not really involved in the day-to-day administration of Germany. His focus was on foreign affairs and military issues
Point Three: Hitler didnt have much economic control, as German industrialists retained their power as a result of a deal in order to get their support for Hitler's rise to power

I think I had another paragraph, but I cant remember what I wrote.
