10. They Climbed Every Mountain Straight Into Hitler

In the film when the von Trapps escaped from the Nazis they fled on foot over the mountains into Switzerland. In reality, that would be a five our drive away. The scene of them climbing into Switzerland was filmed near Berchtesgaden, Germany, which was where Hitler’s mountain retreat, Eagle’s Nest, was. Not a great route to flee by! The real von Trapps actually just hopped on a train to Italy, then made their way to America via London.
