	Ulrike Meinhof - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		She was one of the founders of the Red Army Faction (in German: Rote Armee Fraktion), which is also known as the Baader-Meinhof gang.
		Meinhof wrote many of the tracts and manifestos that the group produced, including the concept of the urban guerrilla, decrying what she called the exploitation of the common man and the imperialism of the capitalist system.
		In 1970, increasingly frustrated with ordinary means of struggle employed by the left-wing, or lack of the same, she helped Andreas Baader to escape from prison and then took part in bank robberies and bombings of industrial sites and American military bases.
