i predicted the sort of sub topics for the catholic trial (totalitarianism+ war, and WW1 wud b total war), hsc i s a lil risky umm,
they did ask for an aspect of the collapse of weimar last year (hte Depression's impact)...
they havent asked for totalitarianism,nationalism nor too much on democracy(key concepts)
so they can ask bout one of hte aforementioned concepts, or they can ask from the key features, and id say theyd use wot gordo said or foreign policy...Volksgemeinschaft doesnt look probable...nevertheless im gonna study all of germany its too risky to neglect topics coz u can incorporate evrything somehow

i also reckon there will be a question on weimar. Since the introduction of the new HSC they havent specifically asked in what atmosphere was weimar created. Like about the spartacist uprisings, kapp putsch, etc.

i think its when the Nazis introduce things like the Reichstag fire decree and the enabling act. This therefore helps eliminates opposition to the regime.

Someone correct me if im wrong, hehe.

I so hope its on totalitarianism because I know a ridiculous amont about that and think its so good to argue... my teacher said it too; I wonder why everyone agrees??

Other probabilities are successes and failure in war...

I don't think there will be one of consolidation of power because they asked something really similar last year. But in an essay in that instance, you'd talk about the process of gleichschaltung.

i'm guessing weimar, and nazi racial policy - relating to consilidation of power, i'll try and memorise 2 essays, but boy, if neither are in it, i will despise this subject for the rest of my life, the way my other exams have went, there is a trend in the hsc, so we should get asked something different this year, like totalitarianism, remember, the hsc is written at the beginning of the year, way before the trials, but the trials are a decent indicator.
