They were working class kids that would act out and do things that the Nazi's did not like. They would sing banned songs and would be a nuisance to the Nazi's. The group was around from the year 1939-1945. ]]> 2023-05-09 16:45:57 UTC https://padlet.com/germ7902/5xjqc6my55dyytky/wish/2584118578 germ7902 https://padlet.com/germ7902/5xjqc6my55dyytky/wish/2584543318 They were a youth group opposing the Nazi's just like the Edelweiss Pirates. They were passionate about swing music, fashion and dancing. These are all things Hitler's youth groups were against. ]]> 2023-05-10 00:24:44 UTC https://padlet.com/germ7902/5xjqc6my55dyytky/wish/2584543318 germ7902 https://padlet.com/germ7902/5xjqc6my55dyytky/wish/2584549539 The head of the SS wrote in a letter saying that these groups were unacceptable and had to be dealt with. He proposed that they be sent to concentration camps for 2-3 years then to make their childhood terrible. Then they could later be sent to work camps. ]]> 2023-05-10 00:29:25 UTC https://padlet.com/germ7902/5xjqc6my55dyytky/wish/2584549539 germ7902 https://padlet.com/germ7902/5xjqc6my55dyytky/wish/2584575344 The parents of the swing groups were also set to be sent to camps if there was any evidence that they had been encouraging their kids. Their land and freedoms would also be taken away along with their kids. ]]> 2023-05-10 00:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/germ7902/5xjqc6my55dyytky/wish/2584575344 germ7902 https://padlet.com/germ7902/5xjqc6my55dyytky/wish/2590390574 Some of the kids in the Swing groups were eventually arrested and sent to concentration camps. They were also sometimes sent to work camps since most of them were at the right age for this. Some of their parents had their land and money taken away and were also sent to concentration camps. In the end the Nazi's took serious action against these groups that they called a simple nuisance in the beginning of the war. ]]> 2023-05-15 00:33:45 UTC https://padlet.com/germ7902/5xjqc6my55dyytky/wish/2590390574 germ7902 https://padlet.com/germ7902/5xjqc6my55dyytky/wish/2590397377 On January 17th, 1942, Swing music was banned in Nazi Germany. This is because it was seen as an opposition to the Nazi government. A lot of swing groups used it as their official music and a lot of them simply liked it. This is why it was banned in the country. ]]> 2023-05-15 00:40:02 UTC https://padlet.com/germ7902/5xjqc6my55dyytky/wish/2590397377 germ7902 https://padlet.com/germ7902/5xjqc6my55dyytky/wish/2590406980 These groups had limited impact in Germany because they were not that large. Despite this small impact, they still represented an opposing force to the Nazi's and it is still recognized today. They embodied a spirit of nonconformity and rebellion against authoritarianism, and their adoption of American music and fashion signaled a rejection of the Nazi regime's xenophobic and nationalist worldview. ]]> 2023-05-15 00:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/germ7902/5xjqc6my55dyytky/wish/2590406980 germ7902 https://padlet.com/germ7902/5xjqc6my55dyytky/wish/2590410758 2023-05-15 00:52:02 UTC https://padlet.com/germ7902/5xjqc6my55dyytky/wish/2590410758 germ7902 https://padlet.com/germ7902/5xjqc6my55dyytky/wish/2590412229 2023-05-15 00:53:36 UTC https://padlet.com/germ7902/5xjqc6my55dyytky/wish/2590412229
