The Edelweiss Pirates (Edelweißpiraten) were members of a loosely organized youth
culture in Nazi Germany that emerged in western Germany in the late 1930s in response
to the strict regimentation of the Hitler Youth. Similar in many ways to the Leipzig
Meuten, they consisted of young people, mainly between the ages of fourteen and eighteen,
who had either evaded the Hitler Youth by leaving school (which was allowed at age fourteen)
or avoiding the Reich Labor Service and military service.

The origins of the Edelweißpiraten can be traced to the period immediately prior to World War II,
as the state controlled Hitler Youth was mobilized to serve the state, at the expense of the
leisure activities it had previously offered young people. This tension was exacerbated once the
war began and youth leaders were conscripted. In contrast, the Edelweißpiraten offered young
people considerable freedom to express themselves and to mingle with members of the opposite sex,
whereas Nazi youth movements were strictly segregated by sex into the Hitler-Jugend (boys)
and Bund Deutscher Mädel (girls). Though predominantly male, the casual meetings of the
Edelweißpiraten even offered German adolescents an opportunity for sexual experimentation
with the girls that tagged along with every group.

Apart from gatherings on street corners, the Edelweißpiraten engaged in hiking and camping trips,
which kept them away from the prying eyes of the authoritarian Nazi regime. They often engaged
in fights with the Hitler Youth and took great pride in attacking them. As one group, the "Navajos", sang:

Des Hitlers Zwang, der macht uns klein,
(Hitler's power may keep us small)
noch liegen wir in Ketten.
(we're still bound in chains)
Doch einmal werden wir wieder frei,
(But one day we'll be free again)
wir werden die Ketten schon brechen.
(We'll smash through the chains)
Denn unserer Fäuste, die sind hart,
(With our fists, we will fight)
ja--und die Messer sitzen los,
(Yes, and we'll draw our knives)
für die Freiheit der Jugend,
(For the freedom of Youth)
kämpfen Navajos.
(The Navajos are struggling)

The response of the Nazis to the Edelweißpiraten was harsh. Individuals identified by the Gestapo as
belonging to the various gangs were often rounded up and released with their heads shaved to shame them.
In some cases, young people were sent to concentration camps or prison. On October 25, 1944,
Heinrich Himmler ordered a crackdown on the group, and in late November of that year, a group of thirteen
Edelweißpiraten were publicly hanged in Cologne. Among the victims was Barthel Schink, a sixteen-year-old
leader of the local "Navajos."
