Episode 275 - The Red Army Faction Part 4: The Body as a Weapon

In the final episode of the series, we learn about the run-up to, and aftermath of, the Deutscher Herbst, or "German Autumn" of 1977. In two months in late 1977, the leadership of the first generation of the Red Army Faction would murder a high-profile German industrialist (and former SS officer), hijack a plane, and commit group suicide. And let's just say it made an impression in West Germany. Join the Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/lionsledbydonkeys Sources: The Red Army Faction. A Documentary History.
