J14P11 MSQn6(b) Why did Hitler want Anschluss?



Level 0 No evidence submitted or response does not address the question [0] 

Level 1 General answer lacking specific contextual knowledge [1] 
e.g. 
‘He thought it would benefit Germany.’ 
‘He wanted resources.’ 

Level 2 Identifies AND/OR describes reasons [2–3] 

(One mark for each point) 

e.g. 
‘Hitler believed Germany and Austria belonged together.’ 
‘Austria was where Hitler was born.’ 
‘He wanted to develop a Greater Germany.’ 
‘He wanted to unite German speakers.’ 
‘He wanted to break the Treaty of Versailles.’ 
‘Hitler wanted Austria’s mineral deposits.’ 
‘To increase the strength of his military.’ 

Level 3 Explains reasons [4–7] 
(One mark for an explanation, additional mark for full explanation.) e.g. 
‘Hitler stated in Mein Kampf that he wanted to create a Greater Germany and to overthrow the Treaty of Versailles. Anschluss had been forbidden by the Treaty and so a union would help him achieve both these aims.’ 
‘Austria’s soldiers, weapons and its rich deposits of gold, iron ore and salt would be added to Germany’s increasingly strong army and industry to make it more powerful.’
