Baader Meinhoff Complex

In 1967 an Iranian leader visits an oper in Berlin. This act enrages many young Germans, resulting in large protests. One of the protestors is wrongfully shot and killed which unleashes a string of bombings by a group known as the Red Army Faction. The group is put on trial. They flee Germany and return a short time later and perform a number of bank robberies and more bomb attacks. Most of the "first generation" RAF members are imprisoned and a group of "second generation" RAF members take control of the German Embassy in Stockholm. The "second generation" kidnaps an industrialist by the last name of Schleyer, as a demand for the release of the other RAF members. The original RAF members commit suicide in prison and out of fear of the suicides, the "second generation" RAF members execute Schleyer.
