- One month after Maria's wedding to the Captain, Germany has taken control of the Austrian government. As the von Trapp children prepare to sing in the music festival, Nazi officials ask questions about when their father will return to serve the Third Reich.
I didn't realize the seriousness of this movie until I watched it again as an adult

Something I noticed after watching it so many times is how Friedrich holds himself up. Like he understand that Austria has now changed and he needs to be the man in his family, especially with the captain away. At only 14, he understands.
I loved Max. He added humour to the movie.
What a brave man to backchat the Nazi officer
Go get ‘em, Maxie😍❗️
@@frederickpurcell7478 I totally agree with you. Max took everything in his stride
@@jenpeterson3712 he probably understood the Captain's opposition towards Nazism
@@alexanderip1003 he did
"Herr Zeller, how many men do you know who communicate with their children while on their honeymoon?"
LMAO!
Burn!
ROASTED LIKE A BOSS!! XD
I was 7 when i watched thiseven i thought that was funny
It was Christopher Plummer himself, accdg to reports, who recreated/re-did some of the scripts in order for the Captain to be interesting and with strength of character of a true naval captain, that made the movie not so sugary-coated but full of life, suspense, laughter, sarcasm, sweetness. It's my favorite among all other musicals.
I’ve seen this movie so many times but I haven’t seen it in years so I never caught that until now 😂
I like how Max unconsciously rubs his mouth after saying Heil Hitler, as if to scrub the words off his tongue
He is also against Nazism as with Captain Von Trapp who firmly believes in Austrian Independence knowing what this party did to *millions of innocent lives even in Germany
*The worst effected were the Jews
the disrespect to his country and real leader
@@lenol0315 ok
The way he says it too is like he's trying to hold down vomit.
@@lenol0315 ok Nazi
I watched this in school in like 3rd grade (Catholic school btw) and never realized that was a Nazi officer
He was a nazi sympathizer when he was introduced in the party scene. He looks disdainfully at the austrian flag just as he enters.
a lot of us as children didnt realize how serious it was nor that it was on actual events
You never thought that after him saying "Heil Hitler" about three times.
Same
I only thought it was about a lady singing
U til I watched it now
I’ve seen it so many times but didn’t realize until the last time I watched it which was a few years ago
Max's character arc is marvelous actually - he was initially self-serving and then took the chance to help the Captain.
"Herr Zeller, how many men do you know who communicate with their children while on their honeymoon?"
Point match, Max! 😏😉😂😂😂
Plus, just realised they were playing The Lonely Goatherd/Laendlar in the background.
Austria ceased to exist as a country when it became part of Germany in 1938. The country was removed from German maps, it was illegal to fly the Austrian flag and sing the Austrian national anthem. Also Austrians were forcibly conscripted into German armed forces and suffered terribly under the Anschluss.
Yes. So was my grandfather when the Germans invaded Austria otherwise they would have killed my mum and all the family. He managed to hide in occupied France and returned to Austria after the war ended.
@@autind73 Many Austrians welcomed the Nazis, but far more hated how their country was forced to be German and obey the Nazis all the time.. 300,000 Austrians died in World War 2 either through genocide or being forced to fight for the Nazis
@@autind73 they should have hidden in England as it is one of the remaining allied countries unoccupied and victorious after the Battle of Britain
Austria was Hitler's country of birth (Austria-Hungary was still extant when Hitler was born), but the future dictator (who once dreamed of becoming a painter only to see his artistic ambitions quashed by the admissions board of the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts) didn't like the multicultural nature of Vienna and by the early 1910s moved to Bavaria, Germany, after which he enlisted in the German Army after World War I broke out.
@@vahe2391 Hitler was part of a pan Germanist sentiment in Austria that hated the Habsburgs and wanted Austria to be part of Germany controlled from Berlin.
Funny how until I got into high school, I was never aware of how very loosely this movie was based on actual things. I overlooked all the clues early on in the movie that something funky was lurking: Opening graphic, "Salzburg, Austria, in the last GOLDEN days of the Thirties;" Rolfe to Leisl: "Some people think we ought to be German, and are none too happy with those that don't think so;" Max Detweiler to Captain (to which Georg should've beat him to a pulp): "Whatever happens will happen. Just pray it doesn't happen to you."
Max is very loyal to their family later on though.
And I think he is representing all those that did say things like that, and worse.
I use to watch this all the time as a kid and never realized the seriousness until middle school.
Sydney Dumoit I never realised till I was 10 that they had to flee because of nazis i just thought they were fleeing the country only because if a war not because of the nazis aswell 😂
@@eveakastar5082 I know. Now I can't get it out of my head every time I watch it
I watched this as a child to and can safely say that I never understood the seriousness either. But I don't think any of us would have at such a young age. We were lucky to be innocent enough not to know what the Nazis were, as well as what the world wars were like. Now that we're older and more mature, it's not surprising we learn the gravity and history behind this part of the movie, as well as the circumstances.
That’s kind of the idea, it’s supposed to be a family movie and not understood by kids
Fun Fact: Actor Ben Wright who played Herr Zeller was involved with three Disney movies.
1. 101 Dalmatians - Roger Radcliffe
2. The Jungle Book - Rama Wolf
3. The Little Mermaid - Grimsby
Here's something to blow your mind in addition: Richard Haydn voiced the Caterpillar in Disney's Alice in Wonderland
@@krimskrams Yes that’s right! He also played George Wilson in the Dennis the Menace series. Which ran from 1959-1963.
Ben Wright also made various appearances on Hogan’s Heroes and he played as butler for Judge Haywood (Spencer Tracy) in Judgment at Nuremberg.
@@davidekstrand8544 That’s really cool! I’ll have to check that out! 🙂
The sad thing is that Ben Wright (May 5, 1915 - July 2, 1989) passed away four months before _The Little Mermaid_ was released (November 17, 1989).
R.I.P. Christopher Plummer (1929-2021) 😢
Herr Zeller is the same guy who voices Grimsby on the Little Mermaid, and Roger on 101 Dalmations.
He was also in Hogans Heroes
@@jenpeterson3712 Yeah, he was a french spy acting as a German general. I remember that episode.
Caleb Duprest and Rama (wolf) in the Jungle Book
And Bill Lee who sang for Captain Von Trapp also did Roger’s singing voice in “101 Dalmatians”. The coincidence!
And to think he died shortly after finishing his voice work on Grimsby
So freaky that such normal looking people became so cruel and caused such destruction.
Check out C19
Know whats freakier? Its happening all around us right now.
People don't see what's right in front of them; they have no discernment on what should be obvious to them. It is being repeated, just in a different way.
The children's heads slides to each side to whoever's talking ha ha.....
Actually, I was watching just Penny's head going back and forth...
Brigitta the most 😂
00:16 love max's indifferent heil
🤣🤣🤣
0:15 - He looks like he gets in a little teeth-cleaning after the "heil."
probably he doesn't support Nazism like Georg he only warned the latter that things will happen and to Make sure they don't happen to him, only to have Georg to counter-warn Max not to say that again
Herr Zeller's such a tool. He's all, "Look at me! I'm important, now! Der Führer put me in charge of something! YAY!"
He's the Sean Spicer of Nazi Germany.
The Coatesie Show No, he's more like Gustav Schwarzenegger.
He’s the epidemie of a fuccboy. The douche bag clan.
authoritarians require people like him to enforce their will in exchange for a little bit of power, sadly the world is full of Herr Zellers
It reminds me of Governor Northam's (VA) response to people already heavily recreating at VA Beach even while it is closed during COVID (www.nbc12.com/2020/05/17/weather-draws-crowds-closed-virginia-beach-oceanfront/). Suddenly the beach is being reopened by the Governor this Friday (patch.com/virginia/fredericksburg/s/h4ap7/northam-to-reopen-virginia-beach-in-time-for-memorial-day-weekend?) because clearly everyone was ignoring him. I keep quoting Herr Zeller--'You WILL sing, because that's they way I want it to be!'. Was looking for that clip because I'm about to blog about this.
“How many men do you know communicate with their children while on their honeymoon?” Mic drop max…walk away!
Favorite movie line... how many men do you know who communicate with their children while on their honeymoon?
10 YEAR OLD ME: That yodeling song was really catchy!! :D
22 YEAR OLD ME: I wonder if I still remember that yodeling song. (nearly 3 hours later.....) YOU DIDN'T TELL ME THERE WERE NAZI'S IN THIS!!! (looks at my VHS cover) RATED G?!..............Shit 60's kids movies were hardcore!!
Imagine having to do the Nazi salute after every sentence
You say.
Rated G means general audiences, no inappropriate scenes or language...look it up
@@LiaClaire I know that. I'm just saying that its surprising that despite this movie having literal nazis and stuff like that, it still walked away with a G rating. But cool at the same time.
Ratings were way more lenient back then! I actually did not watch much of act 2 as a kid because I had a nightmare about hiding in abbeys, and I was like 5 when the War on Terror started and I saw soldiers marching on TV just like the movie and wondered if the same thing would happen to us. But the war was always overseas...
It was not "a kids' movie." It was a G-rate movie. In recent decades, strangely, they have demoted the G-rate to imply kids, while other movies have been made trashier and trashier, for no good reason other than to further corrupt the audience.
I love how he wipes off his mouth after doing the heil lmao
loved Ben Wright. a great character actor. also the voice of Roger Radcliffe from 101 Dalmatians the original cartoon version. :)
And the male servant in Judgment at Nuremberg as well as Grimsby in Little Mermaid.
I do like the Disney animated version of 101 Dalmatians
He also voiced Rama the Father Wolf in *The Jungle Book* (1967).
And Sir Grimsby in the Little Mermaid.
@@bearcattony00 also He was Mr.Halbestay,,(the servant's ((
in the movie,,,,judgement at Nuremberg (1961)
And to think this is the only movie I know and have seen so far that involves Nazis without a single explosion or even a trigger being pulled throughout the entire film
There’s guns.
I remember seeing this at the Music Box theater in Chicago once. The audience would boo when the Nazis came on the screen
Thank heavens the runner ups helped the family escape capture by bowing for an extended time!
🤣🤣
yep they probably do NOT support Nazism like the Von Trapps did
@@alexanderip1003
The von Trapps didn't support Nazism in the movie.
Before everyone was panicking about Extremism/Radicalisation into ISIS, Sound of Music and Doctor Zhivago both told extremism stories from both ends of the extremist spectrum (Nazism and Bolshevism respectively) from the perspective of a doomed young romance. Rolf is SoM's Pasha/Strelnikov. Both characters are naive youngsters indoctrinated into extreme ideologies and as a result sever personal ties with women they loved. Rolf stopped courting Liesl to join the Nazis while Pasha abandoned Lara to join the Bolsheviks.
the bokshviks fought the nazis and this is what you say?
@@ibn_klingschor the bolsheviks allied with the nazis until the nazis decided it was time to get the wheat and oil of Ukraine and Chechnya.
Like a bunch of other people have said as well, I used to watch this as a kid and I never realized it was World War II and the Nazis LOL. I knew that there was some sort of underlying conflict but I didn’t really grasp that they were Nazis. I guess I just didn’t know what they were at the time.
Hard to believe the actor of herr Zeller played grimsby in the little mermaid.
and Roger in 101 Dalmatians
I just played Herr zeller in my sound of music production
Let us not forget that over 99% of Austrians voted in support of the Anschluss.
Dont exagerate
@@Marcusx1980 I did not come up with the number. You can look it up on the internet.
And another percentage who didn't support it stood back and let it happen. That's who Max represents in this movie hence his line of "What's going to happen is going to happen. Just make sure it doesn't happen to you."
That's true, but it took a brave Austrian to vote "Nein." The Nazis posted members of the SS at the polling stations and they watched as you voted.
@@islandblind I am sure there are at least more than one brave Austrain who voted Nein.
About the Nazis at the the polling stations, I don't anything about it. Where did you read or hear about this?
As a kid I thought he was Hitler
Then you open a history book to find that Hitler had a smaller and dorkier mustache.
@@gregersen80015 which fell out fashion post war in response to Strafgesetzbuch section 86a (the use of symbols of unconstitutional organizations" outside the contexts of "art or science, research or teaching)
@@gregersen80015 and 1 testicle. And man boobs
"Heil Hitler." (says it again)
Max, very unenthusiastically: "Oh, er, Heil Hitler."
(sort of half raises his hand)
Good job, Max. ^_____^
He never served Hitler.
Max has scene of houmer and kraluty this is best family musical movie ever thanks to academy award motion picture all time I love juile Andrews she did wonderful job she is the best
Uncle Max and the Captain must have discussed possible escape routes from the festival venue.
Can't believe someone who played a chilling narcissist like zeller played grimsby and roger in disney movies.
Did you see how Frederich stood like a Soldier as Her Zeller questioned Uncle Max. He knew not to say a word. Sonny Corleone could have learned from him.
I always wanted to know what that piece of music is playing in the background and if there’s a soundtrack version of it
@Joseph Raicaldo it is indeed! A Formal Waltz'y version of "The Lonely Goatherd"
@@amandachadwick3696 Do you know if there’s an actual full recording of this waltz that’s on a soundtrack or Spotify perhaps? Or was it something recorded just for the film that never made it on to any of the soundtracks? I’ve always loved it and would love to hear a full version.
It’s kind of a mix between the lonely goat herd and a waltz called Laendler
If this video had subtitles on Spanish it would be genial....
Good comeback!! How many men do you know who communicate with their children while on their honeymoon!!
What’s that background music
I know right!! I've been trying to find an instrumental forever
Why is there an SS officer there? I wouldn't think the Von Trapps were a state security issue.
Jonathan Lewis A military defector is a massive national security issue. As a captain in the now German, formerly Austrian, Navy, he could tell Germany's enemies everything about exactly how they operate and the design and complements of their ships.
Georg Von Trapp was not a military defector because he never served a single day in the German navy. He was a captain in the Austro-Hungarian navy during World War One. He could not have known the design of Germany's ships because he had never been on board of any German ship of the 1930's
@SlayingHen42 He was the most decorated U-Boat captain in the Austro-Hungarian Navy during WW1 and one of their major experts on submarine warfare at that time. His first wife was also a member of the Whitehead family and so related to the man who invented the torpedo. So the reason the Nazi`s want him is because they probably want to co-opt him into the German Navy, make him an admiral and give him a job in submarine research. But being an old school Austrian patriot he didn`t want anything to do with them.
He should have said how many honeymooners talk to their kids when they don't have any children
"Nazis.....I hate those guys!"
Heh heh, well I'm Spanish. My ancestors had a choice to make in the Spanish Civil War. Join the Nazis (Hitler invited Spain to join him. He loved Spanish people) or join Stalin (Stalin also invited Spanish to join him). I would've chosen to join the Nazis over Communists without a second thought.
@@treygonzalez5252 Yeah only fucking brainwashed morons would choose communists over nazis
@@BioChemistryWizard The Communist side was bound to lose anyway. Stalin barely wanted to help the Communists like Trotsky would have, there was too much infighting between Marxist-Leninsts and Anarcho Communists (read George Orwell Homage to Catalonia good book), and the Fascists were better supplied with Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany actually caring for them. The Communists had failed unlike Anarchists to end class divisions which is why neither side winning would change anything. It would just be another country with a dictator with many starving and malnourished people. Or not who knows although its predictable.
Omg...the pit in my stomach watching this now... 😳😳😳😳😳
A British film, about Germanic peoples, played by British peoples, about how bad some German people are.
Doesn't sound at all like propaganda. 🙄
Do people even realize how much Austria, as a whole, wanted to join with Germany? The economic turnaround that mustache man helped to bring about is still known as one of the greatest economic miracles in recorded history. Austria wanted a piece of that, and the support they gave this was in excess of 90%, even when you account for political dissenters who were not allowed to vote(which, for the record, I think is objectively terrible thing to do, suppress people's voices). That's why it was called The War of the Flowers.
Thanks da
I never liked Herr Zeller. I'm beginning to wonder if in a universal crossover, he'd be a mutant hater in regards to *X-Men* .
I always liked the part about how many men do you know who communicate with their children while on their honeymoon. ^____^
Of course he could probably have sent them a telegram. 😉

This is supposed to be a family movie the fuck
Holy f*ck I've watched this 12 years ago in school, And i never new about the third reich until now. And i realized that the film was ment for children and it gives the "Long long Holidays" feel.
Now I know why my parents put me to bed during the intermission part.
Great villain Herr Zeller.
Having seen The Woman In Gold I am horrified by the way Austrians treated their Jewish neighbours when the Nazis moved in.
@@seantheguy1391 how so?
@Matt Edge I am pretty sure someone horrified by this would be horrified by how brutal the Soviet Union was.
@Matt Edge I could understand your point since the Soviet Union ruled for decades with the Nazis in control for a short time. Although I still keep my point of view of what the Nazis did.
@Matt Edge So then what happened to the Jews in Nazi Germany?
@Matt Edge So where did you get this information on the subject of how the gassing chambers were fake? I am a bit curious on who is telling this? I am not a red pill dude like you so I am oblivious.
Max Detweiler was a Leech, Freeloader and Hanger On. He "Invited" himself to spend time with Ilse and Georg who described himself as a "Charming Sponge". Also, he had a very bad "hearing" problem when Georg told him his Children didn't sing in public. Georg could have said "You want to exploit Children fine but don't exploit mine, I think you should seriously think about your future plans because they aren't here in my House!"
Nevertheless, Max was instrumental in helping the family escape.
@@smwca123 Max was great and he loved the children.
laminage Well, in the end, Max proved useful. Thankfully, he entered the kids into the festival which helped them all escape together.
@@pam0626 Exactly! If they didn't sing at The Festival, they wouldn't have been able to escape I guess I came from an era where if I heard the Word "No!" that was it.
the only redemption he has was his support of Georg's Opposition towards Nazism which he understood and even aided him and his entire family with Maria escape Austria at the end of the festival (despite the borders closure at the time as they later planned to drive up to the hills and continue their journey to Switzerland on foot)
Saburo Kurusu friend
One thing that is really off about this film that I suspect not many people know, especially if they are not from Austria, is that before the Anschluss, Austria had already been a fascist dictatorship ("Austrofascism") for a couple of years. The Social Democratic Party (the strongest party then with 40%+ of the votes) had been forbidden and the government had been forcefully taken over by the conservative People's Party. The family father Georg Ludwig Trapp wears the symbol of the Austrofascists, the so-called "Krukenkreuz", on his chest. In the film, the Austrofascists are portrayed as the good guys and their totalitarian reign is hushed up, as opposed to the Nazis, when arguably, they were just as bad as the Nazis themselves. This might have been ignorance or a deliberate decision on part of the film makers in order to establish a clear good vs. evil narrative, but it is important not to confuse what is portrayed in this film with the actual reality of the time. Thinking about it, this topic might lend itself to an interesting TH-cam video. I might make one. :)
THANK YOU!! I keep ranting to people that this movie totally glosses over the fascists lol
How can people even act to be Nazis in movies?
Actors act, the clue is in the name. Real actors can play both 'good' people and 'bad' with equal aplomb. Chris Plummer has played plenty of villains in his long career. Without actors who can play the unpopular characters you wouldn't get many good stories if everyone wants to be a ' goodie'.
Yeah? Watch the movie "Downfall"
here is you answer go to the next scene where The Captain rips down the flag the answer is NO Zeller! The Captain is no Nazi find someone else to command the Bismarck.
I feel like the music should be darker in this scene...
So the father was German and so was his kids
It is kind of funny how this movie attempts to depict the Austrians during that period of time as some kind of "Anti-Nazi" freedom fighters, whereas in reality almost all the Austrians were "pro-Nazi" and wanted to be annexed by Germany. They were, as a matter of fact, nothing different from the Germans at all. The people of the nation were ethnically German and culturally German. And they loved Hitler as much as the Germans in Germany did, if not even more. Hollywood probably should have picked another European country during that time for the setting of their story.
I don't know if you've actually watched the movie or the play,but the majority of the Austrians were pro Nazi. Captain Von Trapp is the only actively anti Nazi character in the Sound of Music.
Plus, this story is based on the life of the Von Trapp family, who really existed and flew Austria. They moved to Switzerland and, later on, to the United States.
Besides the Captain and his family; the only person they show in this movie that doesn't appear enthusiastic about Nazi control is Max. And no doubt he was meant to represent the people who history warns about when it comes to the Nazi government. The ones who didn't exactly agree with it, but they felt it was best to step back and do nothing as long as they weren't the ones being hurt. Everyone else; they don't show them as anti-Nazi at all. Perhaps some of the nuns are by the end since they were after Maria, but no telling how they felt before.
Hitler was a native Austrian.
Why is ss soldier so small?
@Read This XD but is stand for Schutzstaffel
This movie was also supposed to be targeted and "appeal" for German audiences...

This movie should have been 1,000,000 times better if Von Trapp would have whipped out an m249 when the germans came.
You are an idiot. Firstly, von Trapp was a decorated officer of the Austro Hungarian Navy. Secondly, Austrians ARE Germans, whether they realize it or not. Thirdly, the M249 is evolved from the M60, which is a copy of the German MG 42.
mike ggg All this is true. But imagine if he HAD come across an M249 to use against the Germans. That’d be sweet.
