  19. Resistance to the Youth Movements The youth groups were not universally popular. Many young Germans found them too regimented and militaristic. By 1938, attendance levels at Hitler Youth clubs was barely 25%, prompting the government to make attendance compulsory in 1939. Some young people formed their own alternative groups: • TheEdelweiss Piratesgrew their hair long and fought with members of the Hitler Youth. • Members of the Swing Movementdefied the Nazis by listening to banned American Jazz music. During the war, the Gestapo cracked down on these groups. Some members as young as 16 were even hanged.

The Swingmovement met to dance and listen to forbidden jazz music, and welcomed Jews in their clubs. TheEdelweiss Pirates, or Navajos, helped deserters and refugees during the war – 12 of their leaders were hanged in Cologne in 1944 for attacking the Gestapo.
