It stuck with me for a while, it was horrific.īook 2 I just finished, that was the best one so far, one point you are laughing the next is scary and the next you almost cry.
One scene was horrific what the Nazi's did to a woman and her baby. They find a 6 year old Jewish girl and have to hide her and try to get her to Switzerland.Īt one part they came across a concentration camp. One of the Pirates has an older brother is a strict HJ member. It's really funny at parts, they put Epsom Salts in the water tank at the Hitler Youth camp, ( It gives them the shits) they painted 'Edelweiss Pirates rule' and stuff like 'Hitler has a small dinky) on walls and on the Hitler Youth's car and plastered him in eggs. Although he was in the HJ, that was just a cover because he was actually the leader of the Edelweiss Pirates of Wurzburg. Then it switches to when he was a 14 year old boy. They start off in current day, and the old man is telling his grandson about the Hitler Youth. Can you tell me though what the Edelweiss Pirates series is about? I'm a teacher so I'm impressed by your interest in reading. The novels are fiction based on actual events that happened between 1936-1945 during WWII in Germany.Larso wrote:Hi Jack, good on you and good on your mum too!
