The Nazi mentality must be inscribed on children if it was to take hold and grow to support the cause. With such an intention, the Hitler Youth was born. Though available to girls and boys (girls could join the Bund Deutsche Madel), the Hitler Youth was primarily interested in procuring control of Germany’s young males. Boys between the ages of 10 and 14 joined the Deutsches Jungvolk (German Young People) and those between 14 and 18 joined the Hitler Jugend, or Hitler Youth. At its peak, membership in the group totalled about 90 percent of the country’s eligible youth and was the world’s largest youth organization. Dissatisfied with the Hitler Youth and the loss of any freedom or fun which membership originally offered, a number of young boys and girls began looking for a way in which they could avoid association with the group altogether.?Groups began forming in the larger cities of Nazi Germany like Hamburg, Leipzig, Frankfurt and especially in Cologne, and identifying themselves with titles like ‘swings,’ ‘packs,’ ‘cliques,’ or ‘pirates’. Together, the members of these groups are thought to have totalled more than 5,000, about 3,000 in Cologne alone, and although each group maintained a separate identity due to its location, all considered themselves Edelweiss Pirates. During the Second World War the Pirates played pranks on the Nazis. Some threw bricks through munitions factories and poured sugar water into the petrol tanks of Nazis’ cars. Other Pirates vandalized city walls, spray painting them with lines such as ”Down with Hitler” or ”Down with Nazi Brutality.” Some stole, looting food and supplies from stores or freight trains, or derailed train cars full of ammunition and supplied adult resistance groups with explosives. Pirates from different towns would ”meet in the countryside, to swap information gained from illegally listening to the BBC World Service, or to plan leaflet drops in each other’s towns so the local police would not recognize them.Pirates who were caught could expect to face any number of various consequences. They were threatened, beaten, or subjected to a head shaving, one of the most popular methods of humiliation. They were put in jail, sent to reform schools, psychiatric hospitals, or concentration camps. Some others were simply killed. Their decision was one of resistance and, consequently, was not without hardship, but it was also one of liberty. 00In the years before World War II, the members of the Nazi regime became intent on creating a sense of loyalty and entitlement in the German youth.
