Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The true story of the Edelweiss Pirates, workingclass teenagers who fought the Nazis by whatever means they could.Fritz, Gertrud, and Jean were classic outsiders: their clothes were different, their music was rebellious, and they werent afraid to fight. But they were also Germans living under Hitler, and any nonconformity could get them arrested or worse. As children in 1933, they saw their world change. Their earliest memories were of the Nazi rise to power and of their parents fighting Brownshirts in the streets, being sent to prison, or just disappearing.As Hitlers grip tightened, these three found themselves trapped in a nation whose government contradicted everything they believed in. And by the time they were teenagers, the Nazis expected them to be part of the war machine. Fritz, Gertrud, and Jean and hundreds like them said no. They grew bolder, painting antiNazi graffiti, distributing antiwar leaflets, and helping those persecuted by the Nazis. Their actions were always dangerous. The Gestapo pursued and arrested hundreds of Edelweiss Pirates. In World War IIs desperate final year, some Pirates joined in sabotage and armed resistance, risking the Third Reichs ultimate punishment. This is their story.
