Source A: From a book about the history of Germany, 1858–1990, published in 2001.
The Nazis never quite had the courage to destroy the Churches of Germany and
risk the opposition this might have caused. The Nazis did, however, try to reduce
the influence of the Churches, with mixed results. By the end of 1933, Catholic
priests were being harassed and Catholic youth groups were forced to join with the
Hitler Youth. A new Protestant Church was introduced and a strong Nazi supporter
was put in charge of it.

Women in Nazi Germany 1933-1939
Study Source A.
Source A: From a book on the history of Germany, published in 1985.
Women in Germany were forced to stay at home. Within months of the Nazis coming to power, many
women doctors and civil servants were sacked from their jobs. Then women lawyers and teachers were dis-
missed. By 1939 there were few women left in professional jobs. The Nazi party tried to stop women fol-
lowing fashions. Make up and wearing trousers was frowned upon. Hair was to be arranged either in buns
or in plaits. Slimming was discouraged because being slim was not thought to be good for having children.
