There Is a Way To Stop It

What if Elsa decided she too was against the Nazis. This is set after the Von Traps fled. She is involved with resistance activities with the Gronyitz family (Lisa nee Douglas, Green Acres) and Baroness Marlene from Wake Me When the War is Over. It's a crossover , was originally TSOM. First few chapters not historically accurate, seems more post Vatican 2. Before I knew better.

1. Chapter 1

There is a Way To Stop It

Elsa had packed her bags and had left for Vienna some months ago. She had left Georg, because she realized that things would not work, when she saw that Maria was truly in love with him. Elsa on the other hand was infatuated with him and in love only with his money. She was back living in her mansion in Vienna and happy with her life, until she found out about the awful things the Nazis were doing. She wished that she could find another rich man to marry, but so many of her friends and eligible men in her social circle who were still in Vienna ,were now Nazi supporters, and she had lately decided that she had despised the Nazis. She had told Georg before that there was no way to stop it, meaning there was nothing they could do about the Nazi regime. She was beginning to think different when she had read about what was happening in the Reich. Many of her friends who opposed the Nazis had fled. She heard the rumors that some had been arrested. She had also seen vandalism in the Jewish neighborhoods and some of her Jewish friends had left the Riech because of the oppressive conditions. She was wondering if there might be a way to try and stop what was going around her. She cried the night of Kristallnacht on November 9th. The Nazis had decided to destroy much Jewish property. In the distance she saw synagogues burn and heard the smashing of windows in a nearby Jewish shop. Elsa never was a person who could stand violence, especially when it was done to some of her friends. She knew then that she had to help somehow sometime soon.
