How many members were there in the edelweiss pirates?

The Edelweiss Pirates, a loosely organized group of youth opposed to the Nazi regime in Germany during World War II, had varying membership numbers. Estimates suggest that they comprised around 2,000 to 3,000 members at their peak, with local groups forming in different cities. However, because the organization was decentralized and informal, exact numbers are difficult to determine. Their membership included mainly teenagers and young adults who rejected Nazi ideology and sought alternative values.
