But then, so what? If a novel dealing with the V-2 wouldn't also
describe KZ Dora, then that would be significant. I don't see the
significance of not mentioning Auschwitz (explicitly). As has already
been mentioned, the war as such doesn't figure prominently in GR either
-- only to the extent that the rocket is concerned.
