Germany is reporting today that they have arrested the former naval officer Captain Georg von Trapp, his wife Maria and their children.
After winning the top prize at the Nonnberg Festival, the von Trapps apparently attempted to escape from Austria. In their confusion, they headed across the mountains that form the border between Austria and Germany.
Sources at the local precinct claim that Frau von Trapp was deliriously repeating "How do you solve a problem like Maria? You tell her to climb the mountains leading into enemy territory."
Apparently a rich benefactress has posted bail for Captain von Trapp but not for Frau von Trapp or the children.
More information will be reported when it becomes available.
