Die Fledermaus --> F (otherwise D would be the biggest section in any bookstore or register).
Eine Frau --> just as likely under "E" (its ambiguous and might be "a woman" or "one woman")
von Braun --> depends, some would sort as Braun, Firstname von, others as von Braun, Firstname
NB: My Sony sorts all titles starting with "The" under "T", which I find annoying, but in Calibre the "The" is ignored.
