The only question I have about the plot of the great movie-circa 1966- The Sound of Music- Captain Von Trapp was a Captain in the Austrian Navy- I thought Austria, like Luxemborg, was a land-locked Country. Oh well, get to see Christopher Plummer again in the new movie about Getty.
Austro-Hungarian Navy
I Believe his first wife was a Grand-daughter of Robert Whitehead of torpedo fame.
Captain Von Trapp was also the Austro-Hungarian navy's most successful submarine commander.
Under his command, the submarinesSM U-5 and SM U-14 sank 13 Allied ships totaling about 45,669 gross register tons (GRT).
