* MinorMajorCharacter: Witzleben is one of twelve generals Hitler promoted to field marshal in the 1940 Field Marshal Ceremony. Naturally, this made him one of the highest-ranking figures in the ''Wehrmacht''. However, he has only a few scenes with other resistance members and plays no important role beyond his impassioned speech to Freisler at the end.
