There were many youth groupos in Germany who opposed the Nazi regimes and rebelled agains the regulations. The main three were:
The Eidelweiss Pirates-
The Eidelweiss pirates were teenagers who would go hiking, camping and would hang around on street corners. They wore their hair long and wore scruffy clothes to oppose the nazis. They would fight with Nai street police and Hitler Youth boys, they refused to comply with joining the Hitler Youth. Towards the end of the war, they acted against the state by stealing arms and explosives, attacking nazi figures and bombing. This resulted in the hanging of many leaders.
The 'Swing Youth'-
The Swing Youth used culture to rebel, dressing in Amercan/British clothes and host swing parties with scandalizing dancing, smoking and alcohol. Some of these leaders were also hung.
The White Rose Group-
The white rose group distributed anti-nazi leaflets which resulted in some executions.
