The Edelweiss Pirates by Dirk Reinhart

adventurous dark emotional hopeful

4.25

A really interesting look into Germany at the period of time, speaking about a young group of people who have kind of been forgetten about. It really shows up the whole position of people not really knowing about the Nazis and not being able to stand up against them. 

It might well have begun as almost harmless youthful recalcitrance, but the Edelweiss Pirates had the courage and decency to stand up against an unjust regime, and they would not be thrown off that course, even by brutal persecution. They were part of the other, better, Germany. We should not stop telling their story.
