"In the shadow of the most oppressive regime in modern history, a band of
teenage rebels emerged—not armed with guns or political manifestos, but with
jazz records, swing dances, and a stubborn refusal to conform. They were the
Edelweiss Pirates, a loosely connected network of working-class youths who
resisted the strict regimentation of Nazi Germany. They refused to march in
step with the Hitler Youth, choosing instead to carve out a space for freedom
in a society that sought to crush all forms of dissent."
