=== Financial problems ===
The family met with financial ruin in 1935. Georg had transferred his savings from a bank in [[London]] to an Austrian bank run by a friend named Auguste Caroline Lammer. Austria was experiencing economic difficulties during a [[The Great Depression|worldwide depression]] because of the [[Crash of 1929]], and Lammer's bank failed.<ref name=nara2>{{cite news|first=Joan|last=Gearin|url=https://www.archives.gov/publications/prologue/2005/winter/von-trapps.html|title=The Real Story of the von Trapp Family|access-date=5 January 2009|quote=Maria Kutschera and Georg von Trapp married in 1927.
