The memoir of the WWI submarine exploits of Georg von Trapp, father of the legendary Sound of Music's von Trapp Family
The Sound of Music endeared Georg von Trapp and his family to the world, and it also showed how desperately the Nazis wanted Captain von Trapp for their navy. In To the Last Salute we learn why. Trapp's own story of his exploits as a submarine commander during the First World War is as exciting as it is instructive, bringing to stirring life a little-known chapter in the naval history of that war.
