Available for download as a .pdf file, this supplement is designed to assist teachers of history and civilization courses, at the high school and college level, as they work with the material in Helena Schrader’s novel An Obsolete Honor (Kindle Edition: Hitler's Demons).  It is especially appropriate for courses dealing with World War II and the resistance within Germany to Nazism culminating in the Valkyrie Plot.  It gives teachers a clear picture of the events and issues covered in the novel, and it includes questions to get students actively thinking and talking about these events and issues.  Suggested theme assignments enable students to engage themselves further with these issues through research, discussion, and writing.  Detailed chapter-by-chapter questions help students retain and review knowledge from each chapter.
