- The would later be named by the Gestapo as the Red Orchestra.The author and researcher Geertje Andresen conducted an analysis of the estate of Schottmüller.
- This resulted in the publication of a book on Schottmüller's life, that brought her to the public's notice.
- It is Andresen's work that brings to light the futile and vindictive murder by the Nazi state of a German woman who was only tangentially linked to the Rote Kapelle and whose membership of the group constituted resistance.
