Which group emerged as a youth resistance against the Nazi regime?

The Edelweiss Pirates emerged as a significant youth resistance group against the Nazi regime. They were primarily composed of working-class youths who rejected the strict conformity and militarism of the Hitler Youth. Instead, they embraced a more carefree, rebellious lifestyle, often engaging in activities such as hiking, listening to prohibited music, and mocking the Nazi ethos.

The group opposed the regime's emphasis on discipline and political education, creating their own identity and solidarity through gatherings and acts of defiance. They kicked against the oppressive nature of Nazi indoctrination by promoting individuality and freedom.

In contrast, the White Rose was primarily a student-led group focusing on distributing anti-Nazi pamphlets. The Red Orchestra was a network of spies providing information to the Allies, and the Gestapo was the secret police responsible for enforcing Nazi policies, not a resistance group. Each of these groups operated under different circumstances and had varying methods of opposition, which distinguishes the Edelweiss Pirates' unique youth-centric approach to resisting the Nazi regime.
