RIP

Somewhat related — last I knew, Sophie Scholl’s sister Elisabeth was still alive. She married Sophie’s boyfriend (who had served on the Eastern front).

It’s hard to believe that some of these good folk are still with us. Sadly, more and more are passing on.

My favorite line is when Capt. Von Trapp tells the local collaborator that Von Trapp expected the quisling to be first in line to greet the Anslusch. The weasel says, “you flatter me”. To which Von Trapp responds, “I meant to accuse you.”

Certainly puts into perspective how close we are in time to the carnage and madness of the 1930s and 40s...
