This article had a paragraph about The Sound of Music which read:
With the reference:
I don't have access to the Time article because it's behind a paywall. But it's used as a reference in the Georg von Trapp article in the same paragraph as the article describes the von Trapp's leaving Nazi-occupied Austria. And various reliable sources state that the von Trapp's left after the Nazis entered Austria, such as Encyclopædia Brittannica ("the family fled in 1938 from Nazi-dominated Austria") and the National Archives and Records Administration's journal, Prologue:
I have removed it due to WP:IMPARTIAL ("shamelessly exploited") for now, but I doubt the paragraph meets WP:VERIFY either. If someone has access to the TIME article, please confirm whether the article states whether the von Trapps left Austria before the Nazis entered (with a quote if it does).

The TIME article, published on July 18, 1949, does indeed support the view that the Trapp family left Austria before Hitler seized Austria. The quote is as follows:
"All the Trapps sang and in 1937 Soprano Lotte Lehmann heard them at it. She insisted that they enter choral competition at the Salzburg Festival that year. They took first prize, but never sang at Salzburg again; ardently Roman Catholic and ardently anti-Nazi, they left home just before Hitler seized Austria."
