Hitler's Children: The Story of the Baader-Meinhof Terrorist GangDiscusses the terrorists in the Federal Republic of Germany who came out of the pacifist "new left" student protest movement of the late 1960s. Born in or just after the Nazi period, children of defeated Nazis, they were fiercely against individual freedom and pluralistic democracy. Unaware how closely they resembled their Nazi predecessors, they described themselves as "anti-fascist." With no cause of their own to fight for, they identified themselves with third world victims of wars, poverty and oppression, whose plight they blamed on "Western imperialism." They killed Germans, Americans, Jews and others. Includes detailed biographical portraits. |
