*Okay, this is an attept at Alternate History from the perspective of an Exam, which might be an experiment in a method of writing, and the answer to this Question will come later.*

I went into the Exam hall for my A-level History. The air was palpable with excitement and uncertainty as this was the big exam. No Backsies, nothing. I had to get through this exam. The invigilators guided me to my desk, where i was instructed to wait for my paper. I sat there, thinking about what was going to be on it. The invigilators then gave me my source sheet and the answer sheet.

I went into the Exam hall for my A-level History. The air was palpable with excitement and uncertainty as this was the big exam. No Backsies, nothing. I had to get through this exam. The invigilators guided me to my desk, where i was instructed to wait for my paper. I sat there, thinking about what was going to be on it.

There was one Question:
I had 3 Sources:using the Sources and your own knowledge, explain why Germany lost the Cold War
Source A said:The Nazis were first and foremost incapable of taking on the United States in a Cold War, and were never up to the task. This was because, first and foremost, their ideology was centred around reactionary ideals which meant that reform was nigh-impossible.
Source B said:The Reich's economy was not able to take on the industrial might of the Alliance. The inherent nature of the Command Economy meant that corruption and waste were excessive as well as inability to find markets for German goods meant that the Reich would crumble from within.
Source C said:The Nazis had largely been deluded by their own propaganda believing that they were superior to everyone else, such as with the Greatly exxagerated capabilities of the Von Braun Stations. This led to myths being propagated about national superiority, which far from enhancing their status in the world, led to their own demise
