World War II is such an incredibly vast subject that many interesting topics have fallen by the wayside. Sometimes, we are so consumed with some of the more popular occurrences we don't give some of the lesser known topics their due diligence. Well, for those who have an interest in the subjects that might be just a bit off of the beaten path, I have created this course for you! Some of the topics are battles, some of them deal with technology and some of them are just obscure-but all of them...

I have been a teacher since 2001 and for most of that time I have been teaching social studies at the elementary or middle school level. Coupled with that, my collection of military uniforms and my living history experience add greatly to my lessons.

I have been teaching military history to elementary students since 2001 and parents have appreciated the approach I use given the age of the students. I try to keep our study away from the more age inappropriate topics, such as The Holocaust, harsh treatment of POW's, etc. It is not that these topics aren't important, it's just that the age range for these lessons (8-14) is a bit on the younger side, so I feel that they are better left to teachers of older grades. When I do get questions about the more disturbing aspects of the war, I might answer along the lines of, "these soldiers went into this country and did not treat the people there well," instead of giving specifics. Having said this, please be aware that these classes are about warfare and military history. One aspect of this is to talk about weapons from the corresponding era, and to discuss advancements in military technology. I don't handle any firearms personally, but we do discuss weapons and technology and I show pictures and videos when appropriate. If your learner is sensitive to this kind of subject, and may get frightened or upset upon seeing a picture of a rifle, cannon, tank or bullet, then this may not be the class for them. This is a class about military history, and there is no way to avoid this, so please take this into account before signing up.
I will show brief CAREFULLY VETTED YouTube videos in class dealing with a variety of subjects. Webpages I find valuable: WWII Ship database - https://ww2db.com/ship.php WWII Records - WWII archives Book - The Blitzkrieg Legend - John T. Greenwood Book - The Battle of Britain, James Holland Book - Bitter Ocean: The Battle of the Atlantic, 1939-1945 by David Fairbank White Book - D-Day - Steven Ambrose Book - The Second world War in the Far East by H.P. Wilmott Book - Quartered Safe Out Here by George MacDonald Fraser
