Oh, the Nazi anthem written in 1959.

[skimbell]

Same thing as playing the Nazi anthem La Marseillaise at Rick's in Casablanca.

[bgill]

Heaven forbid if she overheard Ivanka playing Brahms’s lullaby.

[windsorknot]

Joseph Haydn was a National Socialist when he composed the German National Anthem.

[Kozy]

Yea Maggie he once again proved by your point odds and actions that you are stupid. It sure was a Nazi won’t written 14 years after the This Reich fell. Stupid poor stupid Maggie

[dfwgator]

Austria is still trying to convince people that Beethoven was Austrian and that Hitler was German.

[Flick Lives]

Does...anyone at that White House understand the significance of that song?

—

Yes. We’ve learned your “knowledge” of history is limited to what’s on Netflix.

[Yaelle]

Holy effing poop. Edelweiss as sung in the Sound of Music is the love for a Free Austria against the Nazi takeover!! How can you get it that wrong???

[Yaelle]

I don’t even think “Tomorrow Belongs To Me” (the actual, chilling, Nazi song in the show) made it into the movie. Or did it?

[Yaelle]

You might have won this thread!

[cranked]

The clueless will virtually always remain clueless, willingly.

A time travel delivery via that bell thing that supposedly crashed later in PA or somewhere up in the NE.

??????

That was the song from Cabaret. Fake Nazi. Written by Kanter and Ebb for the show and included in the movie.

[jmcenanly]

Perhaps he did, in that mirror universe in which the show is set. It would follow that the Nazis would make movies celebrating their rise to power.

[DoughtyOne]

She needs to go watch the movie and grasp the meaning for herself. (she will obviously need help...)

The Von Trap family saw NAZIism for what it was, and felt the need to flee.

WE today see the advance of another NAZI group, but we’re not surrendering to it.

I refuse to think the U. S. would allow world class criminals like these to flourish.

It’s time to stop this nonsense in it’s tracks.

Textbooks now referencing me as a racist because I back Trump?

F no!

[jmcenanly]

Tomorrow belongs to Us was written for Cabaret which came out in 1972. I can understand the confusion.

[mosesdapoet]

Misrepresenting a song who’s lyrics btw have nothing to do with endorsing a political movement Is typical of the use of PC Perverse Cliometric tactics used by the left when it’s presented as being politically correct to fit their distorted perverted revisionist views.

[Darksheare]

Lol
Seems the socialists have forgotten that their marching song was “Erika”.
So here’s a modernized version of it for her.

From Wiki (Bolding mine): In the musical, Captain von Trapp and his family sing this song during the concert near the end of Act II, as a statement of Austrian patriotism in the face of the pressure put upon him to join the navy of Nazi Germany following the Anschluss (Nazi annexation of their homeland). It is also Captain von Trapp's subliminal goodbye to his beloved homeland, using the flower as a symbol of his loyalty to Austria. In the 1965 film adaptation, the song is also sung by the Captain earlier in the film when he rediscovers music with his children.

[Yaelle]

Oh right! It was taken out of the movie version? Not sure. Sorry to get cabaret mixed up with the von Trapps. Both good musicals.
