Encyclopaedia Britannica WW2
Encyclopaedia Britannica's Guide to Normandy 1944
Encyclopædia Britannica tells the story of the Normandy Invasion through the spoken recollections of veterans who fought it, the newsreels that brought the news home, and the written words of historians who have dedicated years to studying the great campaign.
Encyclopaedia Britannica - Normandy: Change the Course of History
In this role-playing activity, students will assume the identity of a real actor in the Normandy Invasion drama: Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt, commander of all German forces in western Europe. But the script of the drama is changed: What if Rundstedt somehow learned exactly where, when, and how the Allies were going to invade France? The students are asked to consider two very different but equally plausible reactions by Rundstedt and then to explain which of the two would better meet the field marshal's goal: to save Germany and the German people from humiliation and annihilation.

Armoured Warrior
Canadian War Museum: Armoured Warrior
Armoured Warrior is an interactive activity based on the real-life experiences of Canadian tank crews that fought in North West Europe during the Second World War. Unlike their stories, however, YOU get to decide how this adventure will end. As the commander of a Sherman tank in the final days of the Normandy Campaign of 1944, you will live through some of the excitement, despair, brutality and sheer horror of one day's fighting at the front.

A Force More Powerful – the Game of Nonviolent Strategy is the first and only interactive teaching tool in the field of nonviolent conflict. It is designed for people who want to use nonviolent action in their own struggles for rights and freedom. The game will also serve as a valuable simulation model for academic studies of nonviolent resistance, as well as an educational tool for civil society groups and anyone who wants to learn more about the power and strategic use of nonviolent action. AFMP is a single-player, turn-based game in which the player takes on the role of chief strategist in a nonviolent movement against the opponent in one of ten pre-packaged scenarios. As the player takes charge of the movement’s materials and human resources, recruits new members and builds alliances, the player also learns the value of strategic planning, and the careful formulation of goals and tactics. The adversary is controlled by the game’s artificial intelligence.
Pax Warrior weaves the tragic story of the UN experience in Rwanda placing the user, first person, in the shoes of a UN Commander trying to maintain peace. What are the terrible choices to be made?
