Is teenage nonconformity an act of serious political resistance? The Swing Youth were teenagers in Nazi Germany who met up to dance wildly to the “hot” music coming out of America. Every time they did, they risked getting caught and arrested by the Gestapo. The Edelweiss Pirates were one of the loosely formed youth gangs that dabbled in hiking, vandalism and bullying Hitler Youth kids. These two groups represent different paths a teenager could follow if they wanted to hold on to a tiny shred of their individual identity living under oppressive Nazi rule.
