While the musical technically doesn't say anything to contradict this, it does create the impression that Austria was a free country before it fell to the Third Reich. In reality, most Austrians saw themselves as Germans at the time and welcomed the Anschluss; though some did oppose it, including the real Captain von Trapp, they were in the minority and most were monarchists hoping for a Habsburg restoration. And the film refers to pre-Anschluss Austria as "the last Golden Days of the Thirties".Thirties".
* HistoricalVillainUpgrade: Downplayed. Captain von Trapp isn't a bad person by any means, but he's depicted as much sterner and more emotionally distant than he was in reality. The real von Trapp children were reportedly disturbed by how their father was portrayed and asked producers to soften him a bit. Maria von Trapp also said that the film got her and Georg's parenting roles reversed; he was the permissive free spirit, who encouraged the children to roam the lands around their house, and she the rule-enforcing disciplinarian.

''The Sound of Music'' is the final -- and most famous -- musical by Creator/RodgersAndHammerstein (the latter of whom died of stomach cancer just nine months after its Broadway premiere), based on the story of ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_the_Trapp_Family_Singers the Trapp Family Singers]]''. The musical was inspired by an earlier, now largely forgotten German movie adaptation of the book and was made into a movie in 1965, with Creator/JulieAndrews as Maria and Creator/ChristopherPlummer as the Captain. In 1991, the book was again independently adapted in [[Anime/TrappFamilyStory a 40 episode anime]] as part of the ''Anime/WorldMasterpieceTheater'' series. A live broadcast of the original stage production starring Music/CarrieUnderwood and [[Series/TrueBlood Stephen Moyer]] aired on Creator/{{NBC}} in 2013, the first live television presentation of a musical since ''Theatre/CinderellaRodgersAndHammerstein'' in 1957. Creator/{{ITV}} followed suit in 2015 with its own live broadcast, starring Kara Tointon and West End stalwart Julian Ovenden.

** In Real Life, they simply got on a train to Italy. The musical/movie's method of escape gives a better climax - tying in with the "Climb Every Mountain" reprise - and the film provides [[SceneryPorn prettier visuals]]. But it also fails logic, since they're walking in the direction of Hitler's mountain retreat, and a division of the SS.

** In reality, Georg and Maria were married in 1927, Maria only really grew to love Georg romantically ''after'' they had married. While she did like him well enough as her employer, she was pressured by the Church into accepting his proposal and giving up her dream of being a nun, and married him for the sake of the children more than anything else. However, she had bore three more kids by the time they left, and she later reflected that "I learned to love him more than I had ever loved before or after."
