Source A: A derelict tank, No Mans Land. The Western Front 1917.

Source B: From the recorded memories of William Easton, East Anglian Field Ambulance. He was eighteen years old in 1916. Here he described the conditions near Ypres in 1917.

Up at Ypres we used to go up the line and we’d be waist deep in mud. We were carrying the wounded down near a place called Hooge, where had been a terrible amount of fighting. One trip down a trench in those conditions and you would be all in- exhausted. IF you got two or three wounded men down in a day, that was all you could expect to do. We had to carry men on all fours there and we had to be very careful because you could do more damage to a man than the shell if you jolted him too much or he fell off the stretcher. To make carrying easier we had slings, which we put round our shoulders and over the stretcher’s handles.

Source A: From Hitler and I, by Otto Strasser, published in 1940. Strasser was a leading Nazi member in its early years. Here he remembers a conversation with Hitler.

I remember one of my first conversations with him. It was nearly a quarrel. ‘Power!’ screamed Adolf. ‘We must have power!’.‘Before we gain it’, I replied firmly, ‘let us decide what we propose to do with it, our programme is too vague; we must construct something which will last’.

Hitler who even then could hardly bear contradiction, thumped the table, saying sharply, ‘Power first! Afterwards we can act as events occur’.

Source B: From a private letter, written by a Hitler Youth member to a friend in Germany in 1936.

What is life like in this camp, which is supposed to be the best example of all the Hitler Youth camps? There is little enthusiasm. We don’t have a minute of the day to ourselves. This isn’t camp life, no sir! It’s army life. Drill starts right after a very small breakfast. We would like to have athletics but there isn’t any. Instead we have military exercises, down in the mud, till our tongues hand out of our mouths. We have only one wish: sleep.
