(b) There were some well-developed explanations in response to this question. Explanations focused upon Hitler’s desire to unite all German speakers and to develop a Greater Germany. Some candidates also developed an explanation based upon Hitler’s desire to acquire Austria’s mineral wealth. Candidates are expected to have a sound knowledge of the reasons why Hitler wanted Anschluss and exactly what the Anschluss was. They therefore need to be aware that Anschluss was the uniting of Germany and Austria, rather than the reuniting of the two countries.
