Too Much Hitler Being Taught?
The headline is the claim; Too Much Hitler Being Taught.
Schools are teaching too much "Hitler and Henry" and should broaden their pupils' history lessons, according to an education watchdog.
There has been a gradual narrowing and "Hitlerisation" of history taught to over 14s, said the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority.
And it said that lessons for this age group were also dominated by topics like the Tudors and the 20th Century dictatorships, giving "increasing cause for concern".
The criticism comes ahead of new guidelines on teaching post-war German history, being published next week.
