Just read your textbook and memorize historian quotes in relation to certain debates/areas. Germany is easy - most of the things should already be in your head, but revising it will ensure it.

He's summed it up, Germany is piss easy to do. I would split it up in terms of:

Weimar: 1918-1929
Hitler and the Nazi's: 1923-1933
Establishing the Totalitarian State: 1933-1939

Don't forget to also split those further into smaller groups. I did the following, which could be a good guideline:

* Creation of Weimar

* The Putsches (Kapp, Beer Hall)

* Occupation of the Ruhr

* Hyperinflation

* Stresemann Years (1924-1929) [also called Years of Fulfilment]

* The Great Depression

* 1930-33 until Hitler becomes Chancellor

*Reasons for Collapse of Weimar Republic

then Hitler's rise to power

Beer Hall Putsch / Writing of Mein Kampf
Years of Waiting (establishment of Nazi Organisations etc)
Nazi Ideology, techniques etc
Years of Oppurtunity 1929-1944 From Reichstag Fires -> Decree of the PP&tR -> Jewish business boycotts -> Concordat -> Night of the Long Knives -> Oath of loyalty to Hitler (and many more in there)

A Nazi State

Nazis in power (Hitler's role, Nazism as totalitarianism)
Role of Propaganda, Repression, Terror and Fear
Opposition to Nazism
Social & Cultural life in the Nazi state
Nazi racial & foreign policy

Combined with heaps of other study notes, this plan did work quite well, though there is a hell of a lot more that i didn't type - this is just a skeleton.

Good luck, and do well
