The ‘Carrot and Stick’ policy

Comes from the old saying that there are two ways to make a donkey move. One is to use force and hit it with a stick. The other is to encourage it by offering it an attractive reason to move – such as a nice carrot dangling in front of its mouth.

Intimidation and Fear

Germans were intimidated – or frightened – into accepting Nazi control.

Impossible to exaggerate the role of fear in the Nazi State.

Most feared parts of Nazi control were the Gestapo, the SS and Concentration Camps.
