E.g. [Point] From Source A I can infer that life under Nazi rule for the worker was harsh. [Evidence] In Source A, it shows a worker tied up in chains with razors. The worker is tied to a Nazi swastika. [Explanation] This suggests that the German workers were tightly controlled by the Nazi government. They would have their personal freedoms and rights taken away. [Context] Some workers would have felt like this as the Nazi party was strongly anti-communist by this point and promised to ensure that any opposition to Nazi rule would be dealt with harshly, especially opposition by communist backed workers. Such suppression was carried out by the brown shirts or the Sturmabteilung. 4-5 2025 Preliminary Examination/CCHMS/Secondary 4/History/2174/01
