	Northeast Region, Boston - Von Trapp Family Records
		The von Trapps fled Austria after the German annexation of Austria, fearing reprisals resulting from declining to sing at Hitler's birthday party, and Georg von Trapp's refusal to accept a commission in the German Navy.
		Georg von Trapp apparently never filed to become a citizen; Rupert and Werner were naturalized while serving in the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II; Rosemarie and Eleonore derived citizenship from their mother, Maria; and Johannes was born in the U.S. and was a citizen in his own right.
		The von Trapps' story, while one of the better known, is merely one of thousands of immigrant experiences documented in the records of the National Archives and Records Administration.

	The My Hero Project - George Ritter von Trapp
		Captain von Trapp had been born and brought up on the seashore, hearing stories of his father's days in the Navy, and it was one of his passions to be near the ocean.
		And when Captain von Trapp refused an invitation to join the Nazis and establish a submarine base on the Adriatic, the anti-Nazi sentiments of the Trapp family became clear.
		Submarine life and the ocean were what Captain von Trapp grew up on; they were his passion, but he put aside his love of commandeering ships in order to resist the evil of Hitler; a truly heroic act.

		Von Trapp's Austrian nation is one of polyglot Mitteleuropa, not of a Greater-Germany and it is this historical legitimism of the post-1918 Austrian state that von Trapp as aristocratic/conservative element of the Ständestaat locates his patriotism.
		Von Trapp, who represents the imperial patriarchy, is shown at the head of the family table, the microcosm of the nation.
		Von Trapp's identity is shifted after the Anschluss: the order regarding his naval commission comes from the center of the new Greater German Reich, Berlin, (Vienna having been degraded to a provincial capital) and it requests he report to Bremerhaven, a Protestant northern German port city that has little in common with Terra Austria.

		Maria von Trapp’s memoirs (The Story of the Trapp Family Singers), published in 1948, inspired two German films, both produced by Wolfgang Reinhardt, who bought the film rights from Maria for only $9,000.
		But the only money the von Trapps ever received from the American productions was a small percentage from the Broadway musical, although the show’s producers had no legal obligation to offer even that.
		With the original sale of her book rights to the German Divina Films for a mere $9,000 in the 1950s, Maria von Trapp had forfeited any further claims to sharing in the huge revenue generated by the movie.
