Two nuns are also much more active: they remove key components from the Nazi cars so they can't start.
But I actually disagree with those two nuns, who, in the last dialogue in the movie, just before revealing their actions, tell the reverend mother they have sinned. I don't think so.

The nuns actively help the family hide. They let them borrow the caretaker's car, knowing it will be difficult or impossible to retrieve.

After they sing at the festival, where do they go? To the convent. That's where they seek help. Of course, Maria had a connection there, but the Catholic church is a conservative institution! And they could have gone elsewhere: the captain was well known and liked.

One could talk a lot about Max, such an interesting character. *Many* in this country are currently emulating Max. Lessons from Rolf, too. But I want to focus elsewhere in the movie.

Short context: my youngest and I are currently on a short trip to see family. He wanted to watch this, which we've seen before (many times in my case). And yes, I realize this is a fictionalized account of the actual von Trapps - pretty sure it didn't look like this. Still, lessons here.
