Video and tweets at link. When our lovely daughter was a child my parents gave her a music box thay plays Eidelweiss they bought while visiting Austria on a European vacation. Who knew it was a nazi anthem? What would we be without Maggie Haberman's wise insights?

So, “The Man In The High Castle” needs to change it’s theme song now?

It's sad to find out that Christopher Plummer was actually a Nazi in The Sound Of Music...

The Sound of Music was a Pro-Nazi film?
These propaganda nuts are loosing their minds.

re: “Who knew it was a nazi anthem?”
Apparently, every member of the American MSM/’press’. It’s like it was a “dog whistle”, SOMETHING only they could hear, or perceive, or something.
This, itself, is VERY disturbing ...

Yeah, but Kurt Waldheim was from Austria, so that makes Julie Andrews a Nazi or something.

Trump and his family were escaping the modern day Nazis. It was entirely appropriate to play considering the role the press played during the Mueller investigation.

Not to put too fine a point on it, the song was written for the 1959 Stage production of Sound of Music, pre-dating the movie by a few years.
The funniest thing about this is the thought that Trump gives input into the Muzak played in the White House.
I pray to God my President has more important things to do with his time—and if he doesn’t, he should be on the golf course.

it was sad to see Plummer’s great acting ability muffled in The Sound of Music...

Outside of being ignorant of the original context of the song, they are also ignorant of the fact that Rodgers and Hammerstein were Jews.

ANY song that Trump would play would have a sinister meaning to the Left. And if Trump played no song at all? Well, that would have a sinister meaning too.

So, The Man In The High Castle needs to change its theme song now?When the show started with Edelweiss, I thought it was a very old German folk song that Rodgers & Hammerstein had rearranged for Sound Of Music.
I was surprised (but shouldn't have been) that it was wholly original for the play.
Hey....but at least I checked!

Outside of being ignorant of the original context of the song, they are also ignorant of the fact that Rodgers and Hammerstein were Jews. So were all of the "Germans" on Hogan's Heroes.

Well there was a German U-Boat known as “The Edelweiss Boat”. It had a flower painted on the conning tower. Those crafty Germans knew it would be in the movie.

Operation Edelweiss was the German attack on the Caucasus Mountains, so therefore Nazi and Russians. < /braindead liberal mode>
