Rogers & Hammerstien created The Sound of Music, and it's a wonderful movie we've all seen many times, but it's not history. Here you see the National Socialists (the Nazis) as they really were-the unemployed, many of them veterans who fought in the First World War, who saw their countries-Germany and Austria-torn apart by the Treaty of Versailles.
Agathe (named Leisel in The Sound of Music) is the protagonist. She's in competition with Maria, the nanny, until Georg, a submarine captain, Catholic, and hero of the war, falls in love with her. This Maria is not the Julie Andrews version.
Their chauffeur becomes head of the Nazi Party in Salzburg. When the German Army is on Austria's border, he's the one who warns, and then threatens Captain von Trapp.
It is all very good.
