Added DiffLines:

* PosthumousCharacter: General Von Roon almost never appears in the main body of the novel; his war experiences are all recounted in his [[ShowWithinAShow books and essays]], which he withheld from publication until after his death. Averted in the TV adaptations, where this device was not possible and Roon's experiences are dramatized instead.
