Evaluation of an Interpretation (markscheme)

  

Source F

Written by William Shirer (an American journalist who lived in Germany from 1926 to 1941)

in his best-selling book: The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (1959)

Support for the Nazi Party had grown due to the country's problems of hyperinflation and the French invasion of the Ruhr.   By 1928 Nazism appeared to be a dying cause.   Now that Germany's outlook was suddenly bright, the Nazi Party was rapidly withering away.   One scarcely heard of Hitler or the Nazis except as a joke.

 

How accurate an interpretation is Source F of the strength of the Nazi Party in 1928?   Use Source F and your own knowledge to explain your answer.
