In the background there is total darkness except the odd bright Nazi sign, a ray of light. This is what the Nazis wanted to public to see, them as "a ray of light" their only hope, a little white propaganda for the Nazis just to remind the public that they are there, little rays of light.
Source B is White propaganda for the Nazis, this is a different type of propaganda but it is just as effective. They have used the current depression in Germany to back up their campaign. The depression had hit Germany hard and everyone was suffering. Their unemployment level had doubled, so nobody had any money to spend so the shopkeepers had no income and so on. The poster has shown this by drawing all the people in the poster as the general public, any one in the depression was drawn, to emphasise just how bad, miserable and unhappy Germany and her people were.
After highlighting this they have put a caption "Hitler-our last hope" basically saying that Hitler is the only one that can save them.
The two cartoons display a different message on them but they are delivering the same one, that Hitler is their last hope. The first one, source A, does not carry the message "Hitler-our last hope" but it does make you think that. If the people of Germany were not going to vote for The Jews or the social democrats then "Hitler-their last hope", the same message as on source B.
2) Sources Ca & Cb.
Do these sources give similar or different impressions of what Hitler's actions on the Night of the Long Knives? Explain your answer with reference to the sources.
The night of the long knives was the name given to a mass murder committed by Hitler and the SS. The people that were murderd were people that had stood with Hitler and helped him come to power. Hitler was a very paranoid leader and believed these ministers and other leaders, to be plotting against him and there fore he felt had to dispose of them.
