Himmler Cracks Down on Edelweiss Pirates

October 25th, 1944 80 years ago

Heinrich Himmler ordered a significant crackdown on the Edelweiss Pirates, a loosely organized youth group in Nazi Germany. The Edelweiss Pirates were known for providing shelter to army deserters and anti-Nazi elements. This crackdown was part of a broader effort to quash resistance among the youth and reassert the authority of the regime. The move highlighted the growing concern of the Nazi regime regarding dissent and the influence of youth culture against their totalitarian ideals.
