World War II Spy Kit - The Great Nazi Intelligence Coup: A Dwight D. Eisenhower Library & Museum Curriculum Unit
Description:
This curriculum unit and simulation/project for high school teachers and students, as well as the general public addresses the National Standards for History and, as the second in a series on the life and times of Dwight D. Eisenhower is designed to introduce students to primary source material by having them participate in an exercise in historical "what might have been." Students will engage in critical thinking and document analysis and, through the process, will learn more about Operation OVERLORD and World War II in general. This "Spy Kit" centers on Operation OVERLORD and is designed to allow students to play the role of fictitious German agents who penetrate General Eisenhower's headquarters to secretly photograph, within a short time period, a few critically important operations planning and intelligence documents. The documents used in this unit are from the holdings of the Dwight D. Eisenhower Library and were part of the formerly highly classified files created by General Eisenhower and his command when they planned Operation Overlord.
