During the latter phases of the Third Reich, thousands of German teens belonged to a free-living, back-to-nature, counter-culture youth group/hooligan network known as the the Edelweiss Pirates.
They wore their hair long, sang songs by banned Jewish composers, got into brawls with the Hitler Youth, scrawled graffiti, vandalized shit, pulled down Nazi flags, distributed leaflets critical of Hitler, poured sugar into the gas tanks of Nazi vehicles, and even derailed train carriages loaded with munitions.
