 Baader-Meinhof: Terrorists
During the years of terror in West Germany, 1968-1977, close to a hundred Germans became active left-wing terrorists, joining one of three terrorist groups: the Red Army Faction (RAF), Movement 2 June, and the Revolutionary Cells (RZ).
Of the three, the Red Army Faction was the most well-known (often called "The Baader-Meinhof Gang"), though the Movement 2 June as well as the Revolutionary Cells probably committed as many terrorist acts.
Other groups, such as the Ruhr Red Army, and Tupamaros Munich, predated the Baader-Meinhof Gang, but their activities were quite limited and don't warrant inclusion in this discussion.
