Here's Bob to talk about the von Trapps' escape from Austria, why they came to Vermont, and Werner's decision to build the chapel.

Austria used to be part of an empire, was the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

And when they lost World War I, the empire got broken into smaller pieces, but they were in a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the part that was taken over by Italy.

So they had dual citizenship.

And so when they fled, the movie has them hiking over the Alps and they didn't exactly do that, but they made it look like they were going to go for a hike because they were under surveillance by the Nazis.

Very soon, the Baron was going to be captured and forced into the German Navy in World War II because he was a decorated submarine commander in World War I.

He became the top submarine commander in their Navy.

And then how did they end up eventually in Vermont?
