What was the position of the State in Nazi Germany?

• A. The Individual was the most important element of the State.
• B. The State was absolute and nothing was above it.
• C. The State and the Individual were equal.
• D. The State needs to be held up to Communist ideals.

Answer 1

The correct option is B The State was absolute and nothing was above it.

According to Nazism, the State was above all and held all power. This stemmed from the idea that the people existed for the State rather than the State existing for the people. The State controlled political, social, and economic programmes.
