	The edelweiss pirates (Die Edelweißpiraten)
		What you see with the edelweiss pirates is a strange mix of pre-Beat hippiedom, traits of an autonomous youth culture (they even styled a certain look to recognize each other!), political resistance and dare devil mentality.
		After the war this perception of the edelweiss pirates didn't change substantially, and I know only of one small plaque in Cologne reminding of them (especially of the hanging).
		Maybe the edelweiss pirates used tactics we would frown upon under normal conditions.

	>“ETERNAL WAR ON THE HITLER YOUTH"
		In the working class districts such as Leipzig, youth gangs emerged in the former red strongholds that, while broadly similar to the Edelweiss Pirates, had a more politicized class identity and drew on the communist and socialist traditions of their neighborhoods.
		Despite this thousands of Pirates were rounded up in repressive measures which for some ended in the youth concentration camps or public execution.
		The fact that there was defiance and resistance by thousands should not be forgotten, and the activities of the Edelweiss Pirates and the Meuten, should be of inspiration to anti-fascists everywhere.

	ORGANISE!!! 54 Letters
		A few thoughts inspired by the Edelweiss Pirates article in the last issue and discussions that followed it on why the working class were subdued in Germany in the 1930s.
		We take the view that the liberation of the working class must be the work of the working class itself and that the working class will develop political consciousness as a result of its own struggle.
		It surely follows for us that the Edwelweiss Pirates’ existence and their struggles are in themselves put ‘a working class perspective’ on what happened in that era.

		The 10th of November marks the sixtieth anniversary of the public hanging in Cologne of 13 men and boys – six of whom were members of the Edelweiss Pirates.
		The Edelweiss Pirates were an alternative youth group, a subculture that refused to join the Nazi’s Hitler Youth.
		But sixty years after the public hanging the Edelweiss Pirates are still recorded in the history books as petty thieves and criminals and their acts of resistance, while having been recognised by the state of Israel, have not yet been officially acknowledged here in Germany.

	PUBLISHER'S INTRODUCTION
		The actions these youth took were direct action, and in the case of the Edelweiss Pirates, seem to have been largely autonomous.
		Meuten were apparently connected with communist groups, and I wish the article had gone into differences between the practice of the Pirates and the
		Meuten, since this could have been a fruitful area for practical analysis, but of course an article like this is just a beginning.
