Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Edelweiss Pirates (German: Edelweißpiraten [ˈeːdl̩vaɪs. piˌʁaːtn̩] ( listen)) were a loosely organized group of youths opposed to the status quo of Nazi Germany. They emerged in western Germany out of the German Youth Movement of the late 1930s in response to the strict regimentation of the Hitler Youth.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Edelweiss Pirates were teenagers who came together in and around Cologne during the Third Reich to escape the discipline and control of the Hitler Youth.

Detailed explanation-3: -The group’s slogan was “Eternal War on the Hitler Youth.” One Edelweiss Pirate explained his choice to join the group by saying, “It’s the Hitler Youth’s own fault . . . every order I was given contained a threat.” The group’s resistance to the Nazis continued throughout World War II.

Detailed explanation-4: -Membership was voluntary until 1936, when all boys and girls in Nazi Germany were required by law to join a Nazi youth group. All boys over 10 years old joined the Jungvolk (meaning “Young People”), and then graduated to the Hitler Youth when they turned 14.
