Hello, this is a blog on the literary nonfiction book “Flowers in the Gutter” by K.R. Gaddy. This book covers the Bundische youth of Nazi Germany, mainly members of the Edelweiss pirates, who openly opposed the Nazi regime in any ways they could. From simply not participating in Nazi youth activities to eventually sabotaging German supply trains and bombing them. The many actions of the Edelweiss pirates show a theme of how life isn’t always fair, and that you need to resist what isn’t fair.
