	Terrorism Update \| The German Way
		While Germany has had its home-grown terrorists, most notably the RAF (Red Army Faction, see below), terrorism in Germany is not always “German.” When the Americans still had a large military presence in Germany, they sometimes became the target of terrorists.
		In recent years, incidents like a police shoot-out with suspected RAF terrorist Wolfgang Grams, and the assassinations of prominent Germans such as banker Alfred Herrhausen (1989) and Treuhand head Detlev Rohweder (1991) have kept the memories all too fresh.
		The possible release or parole of imprisoned RAF members was particularly disturbing to many Germans in the late 1990s.

		The RAF flag/Ensign was flown by the various launches and tenders that were part of seaplane squadrons in the 1920s and 1930s, and then by the vessels of the Air Sea Rescue Service, formed in 1939.

		The idea for RAF colours originated in 1943 (see note below on the significance of 1943), on the 25th anniversary of the service, but because of wartime austerity measures, it was not possible to present any until after the War's end.
