* BetterToDieThanBeKilled: Unlike [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler the historical figure]] he was an {{Expy}} of, who [[DrivenToSuicide chose to take the easy way out]], Jake Featherston averted this at the end of the Second Great War. He tried to escape Virginia by air, hoping to get to Texas so he could [[IWillFightSomeMoreForever fight to the bitter end]]. Instead, he was [[spoiler:shot down over now-occupied Georgia (having just been [[JustForPun barreled]] through by Morrell's army), where he was found by Black partisans and [[KarmicDeath shot dead]].]]

** Sadly TruthInTelevision, especially when it comes to viewpoint characters during both Great Wars. Taken to ridiculous extremes with some characters: Reggie Bartlett is randomly shot after tearing down a Freedom Party sign, Anne Colleton dies during the ''Remembrance's'' air raid on Charleston, [=McGregor=] dies after Custer throws his bomb back at him, and Nellie Jacobs dies from blood poisoning caused by ''mishandling a chicken''. A new viewpoint character usually takes over when another dies.
** Turtledove is also fond of doing this at the very start of each novel - Bartlett and Colleton die at the start of ''The Center Cannot Hold'' and ''Return Engagement'' respectively.
