The Swing Kids
A youth movement that started in Hamburg in 1939 and spread to Berlin and other German cities.
The movement was a challenge to Hitler announcing that all German adolescents had to join a Nazi youth movement.
They challenged the Nazi image of youth by growing their hair and wearing fashionable clothes.
They also listened to swing music, which was seen by the Nazis as Black music and met at secret dance halls. This often led to clashes with the Hitler Youth and the security forces.
The Edelweiss Pirates
Made up of teenagers between the ages of 14 and 17, the Edelweiss Pirates painted anti-Nazi slogans, sheltered deserters and beat up Nazi officials.
