Leave your thoughts about The Edelweiss Pirates.
| User ReviewAnne FHave you ever heard of the Edelweiss Pirates? This film is based on them; a group of anti-Nazi teenagers opposed to Nazism and bitter enemies of the Hitler Youth. In November 1944 13 members of the Ehrenfeld Group (including six teenaged Edelweiss Pirates) were hung in public - the film centres around the events leading up to the hanging, and the people (some fictional, some not) who were involved. |
| User ReviewPrivate UThis is a pretty much unseen classic really. Set in the ruins of 1944 Cologne as the war trawls to an end, a band of friends in an anti-Nazi movement fight pitched battles with the Hitler Youth and act quite harmlessly rebellious in the main. This changes when they rescue a bomb defuse expert being held as prisoner. The plot moves along to more risky projects such as stealing butter and plotting to blow up the Gestapo Offices. They are soon captured and all of them ruthlessly put to death after torture. The film is show through a 3rd person perspective, so always gives you the 'feel' that you're in amongst them. The attention to detail is remarkable too, which actually gives you the impression that it's a high budget film when it clearly isn't. The central part of the story focuses on two brothers who are on opposite sides of the struggle. It's pretty remarkable to see that even under huge oppression that the Nazi's had Germany under, even kids would fight, and die opposing it. A really great watch. |
