Prologue: late 1942 -- 1932-1938 -- 1939-1942 -- 1942-1943 -- 1943-1944 -- Fall 1944 -- 1944-1945 -- 1945-2019.
"The Edelweiss Pirates were a loosely organized group of working-class young people in the Rhine Valley of Germany. They faced off with Nazis during the Third Reich and suffered consequences for their resistance during and after World War II."-- Provided by publisher.
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. 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 anti-Nazi graffiti, distributing anti-war leaflets, and helping those persecuted by the Nazis. The Gestapo pursued and arrested hundreds of Edelweiss Pirates. In the war's desperate final year, some Pirates joined in sabotage and armed resistance, risking the Third Reich's ultimate punishment. This is their story. -- adapted from jacket
