Flowers in the Gutter: The True Story of the Edelweiss Pirates, Teenagers Who Resisted the NazisThe true story of the Edelweiss Pirates, working class teenagers who fought the Nazis by whatever means they could. Fritz, Gertrud, and Jean were classic outsiders: their clothes were different, their music was rebellious, and they weren't afraid to fight. But they were also Germans living under Hitler, and any nonconformity could get them arrested or worse. As children in 1933, they saw their world change. Their earliest memories were of the Nazi
The true story of the Edelweiss Pirates, working-class teenagers who fought the Nazis by whatever means they could. Fritz, Gertrud, and Jean were classic outsiders: their clothes were different, their music was rebellious, and they weren't afraid to fight. But they were also Germans living under Hitler, and any nonconformity could get them arrested or worse. As children in 1933, they saw their world change. Their earliest memories were of the Nazi rise to power and of their parents fighting Brownshirts in the streets, being sent to prison, or just disappearing. As Hitler's grip tightened, these three found themselves trapped in a nation whose government contradicted everything they believed in. And by the time they were teenagers, the Nazis expected them to be part of the war machine. Fritz, Gertrud, and Jean and hundreds like them said no. They grew bolder, painting anti-Nazi graffiti, distributing anti-war leaflets, and helping those persecuted by the Nazis. Their actions were always dangerous. The Gestapo pursued and arrested hundreds of Edelweiss Pirates. In World War II's desperate final year, some Pirates joined in sabotage and armed resistance, risking the Third Reich's ultimate punishment. This is their story.Binding Type: Hardcover

Leveling blocks
Size: 8.5" x 8.5", Color: Yellow
I used these on my first RV camping trip. I was on a not very level site and these worked well to level my camper. They worked so well I ordered another set. The handle is great at keeping the blocks together.

Very happy.
Size: 8.5" x 8.5", Color: Yellow
Bought these at the start of our camping season. I really prefer these to the ones you drive up on that are like a ramp. Besides leaving out under your wheels they can be used for your stabilizer feet as well or your hitch. Quality is great I have not had one crack, I was worried these would be too big to pull my tires over easily but that wasn’t a problem at all. The size allows you to group them together like legos to do what you need to get level. They come in a bundle with a handle that secures them all together in a nice lightweight block that’s easy to store. I actually bought a second set for my fifth wheel after buying the first set. I got them both on sale and am very very happy with them.

Great alternative to wood blocks
Size: 17" x 8.5", Color: Gray, Size: 17" x 8.5", Color: Gray
So I’ve used wood over the years to level out my Class A RV’s and even with the wood sealed, there is always one side that takes a beating. I figured I would try these Camco rectangular leveling blocks and was very surprised at their strength. I’ve only used them twice, but both times the RV rolled right up with no issues. The RV sitting on those blocks in the picture is a 40’ Tiffin diesel pusher. My only issue is the dual wheel base for this big RV, is too wide to use the blocks perpendicular to the wheels, so I had to use 3 blocks parallel (see pics) for each wheel, which required me to purchase two sets. Most sites I setup up at fairly level, but this just provides that little extra height if needed.

Simple and easy to use
Color: Yellow, Size: 5.5" Lift
We took a late fall trip to Branson Missouri pulling our Camper. We had to use the Camco Trailer Aid when we got to our campsite and it performed as advertised. Good sturdy product that worked as advertised.
