@kairyssdal hey I'm reading this book right now as well. That was a wild detail to randomly come across.

@kairyssdal 🙈 This needs a content warning at our house. Crushing one of the last sacred family cows, right before bedtime. I’m appalled, interested and not in a good place for the fallout of our antifascist adult daughter with Covid if she sees this tonight. It’s long been her favorite movie. She watched Sound of Music or part of it every day for years as a toddler/preschooler. Literally wore out the VHS copies so we finally got dvds.

@kairyssdal It's right there in the movie. He was a successful U-boat commander in the previous war (WWI); that's why the Nazis don't want him going with his family to sing in that competition. They want him commanding a sub again. For them. With his family stuck at his baronial estate: hostages for his continued good behavior, as they see it.

@kairyssdal One time @Popehat co-writer Patrick wrote about this a while back. He was not the type to mince words. https://twitter.com/presidentdawg/status/1357897612922339329

@kairyssdal Germans had a questionable view of life in WW2. If they weren’t causing genocide, they were murdering for the sake of looting and pillaging.

@kairyssdal It’s enough to make you want to retire to a hill, like a lonely goatherd. Maybe that’s what he, on the WW1 U-boat, heard?🍸🙀

@kairyssdal My high school history teacher used Baron Von Trapp in a lesson about the changes to the map of Europe after WWI: “He was a retired naval officer. But wait, wasn’t he kind of young to be retired? Well, take a look at Austria circa 1930… No more coastline, ergo no more navy…”

@kairyssdal I believe that his wife (mom to the singing kids) was British. Her father co-invented the torpedo in Trieste, the Austro-Hungarian naval port.

@kairyssdal I remember someone asking me why landlocked Austria had a navy when we were watching Sound of Music once....I had to look him up. It's real.

@kairyssdal killing like 700 of 'the enemy' with one shot? seems like a good soldier to me. are we upset because they were French? or because like him we don't feel like it was fair to hit them from a submarine?im a pacifist and i feel like killing 700 people is mass murder no matter what nationality they are or how you do it, but i guess the folks who love war have some rules about when wholesale killing is okay
