Edelweiss Pirates

 

The Edelweiss Pirates were a small, loosely-organized group of German youth to old for the Hitler Youth and still young enough to avoid forced conscription into the military. The movement originated in Western Germany in response to the strict regimentation of the Hitler Youth and they sang anti-Nazi songs, assisted military deserters, and collected pamphlets dropped by the Allies. This was their popular slogan: " Eternal War on the Hitler Youth".  This was a popular song that a sub group sang: 

Des Hitlers Zwang, der macht uns klein,	Hitler's dictates make us small,
noch liegen wir in Ketten.	we're yet bound in chains.
Doch einmal werden wir wieder frei,	But one day we'll again walk tall,
wir werden die Ketten schon brechen.	no chain can us restrain.
Denn unsere Fäuste, die sind hart,	For hard are our fists,
ja--und die Messer sitzen los,	Yes! And knives at our wrists,
für die Freiheit der Jugend,	for youth to be free,
kämpfen Navajos.	Navajos lay siege.
