How did the Terror State Work?
Gestapo Spies inform
on you
You are woken up by the Gestapo at
1 am in the morning and told that you have 5 minutes to pack
your bags.
You are arrested and thrown into a
cell at the police station
Days or maybe weeks later you are interviewed
and asked to sign form D11
By signing this form you are giving your
consent to be put into a
concentration camp.
You are handed over to the SS who run the
concentration camps.
You are imprisoned for up
to six months doing hard
physical labour.
When you are released you tell everybody what has happened to
you

Opponent
Reasons for opposing the Nazis
How the Nazi’s reacted to the opponents
Was the Nazi action effective?
Trade Unionists
They represented the workers rights and disliked Nazi control
They closed down the Trade Unions on 2 May 1933. all German workers were forced to join the German Labour Front (DAF)
The workers had no one to represent them- they were under the control of the Nazis and won support of employers
Political Opponents
Communists and Socialists who disagreed with the values of the Nazi’s. Anyone that didn’t agree or conform
Gestapo was used to spy on them and root out opposition. Many were sent to concentration camps like Dachau where they were over worked or starved to death. Others were executed.
Created fear so that society in general went along with the regime.Regime had very few opponents. No one really spoke out. There was no opposition.
Church leaders
Moral grounds, fears of Nazi control over the church, disliked the Nazi Pagan religion
Made a deal with the Catholic church- Concordat 1933 ( they would not interfere with the other)Tried to form all the Protestant churches together called the Reich church- however, many Germans were still loyal to their churches
A big social group remained uncontrolled by the Nazi’s which in some ways limited their control. People were loyal to their churches and the Nazi’s couldn’t replace this loyalty. Several church leaders rebelled on specific issues such as Bishop Galen and Deitrich Bonhoeffer
Army officers
Suspicious of the Nazis and in particular the SA.
The Nazi’s won their loyalty in the Night of the Long Knives when they purged the SA and bought them under control. They then made an oath of loyalty to Hitler
The army agreed to be loyal to Hitler and serve him and to stay out of politics. A powerful group in Germany had been won over- they would not oppose him.
