This question expects you to analyse and evaluate both interpretations. You will need to include details from the content, and provenance of both interpretations plus your own knowledge.

Example:

How far do you agree with interpretation 2 about attitudes in Germany towards the popularity of Hitler? Explain your answer, using both interpretations and your own knowledge of the historical context.

Tips:

You will need to look at both sides of the argument for top marks in this question. You are being asked whether you agree with one interpretation, but need to demonstrate why people may disagree with you. Details should be precisely chosen from the interpretations. Your own knowledge of the period will help your argument.

You could use the other interpretation to help you – you may not agree with interpretation 2, but that may be because you find what interpretation 1 says more valid. Remember to look over your work carefully – this essay question carries SPaG (spelling, punctuation and grammar) marks.
