I thought it might be interesting for you to take a look at how the Nazi’s wanted History to be taught. As early as July, 1933 a decree set ‘Guidelines for History Textbooks’ directing lessons to focus on the concept of German heroism and the idea of leadership. Topics such as ‘Hitler as the accomplisher of Germany unity’, ‘the nationalist revolution as the start of a new era’ and ‘I am a German (a word of pride and duty)’ were the order of the day.
By 1938, the Nazi Teacher’s League had published more considered guidelines:
A bond should be developed between the child and the German nation
There should be respect for Germany’s great past
History should awaken a sense of responsibility to both past sacrifices and future generations by devoting themselves to Germany
History should raise awareness of the basic racial forces of the German nation
The struggle for the right of Germany to exist should be a dominant theme
Defeats and tragic figures should be studied along with successful figures and victories but only to underline the importance of greatness
Unlike your work, balance was not required! Objectivity was rejected as a liberal fallacy. The purpose of history was to teach children that life has always been dominated by struggle with race and blood at the heart of that struggle. Courage in battle, sacrifice for a greater cause, total admiration for the Leader and hatred of Germany’s enemy, the Jew, were all central themes.
As for more recent history, Germany’s participation in WW1 was seen as purely defensive, the aggressors were Britain, France and Russia. The Jews and socialists and communists were blamed for Germany’s defeat (the stab in the back), and the Treaty of Versailles was seen as a wicked unmerited punishment that must be revenged.
I hope your History is a quest to understand the past. A search for the truth.
