(unlocked from Patreon)

Today I'm joined by Joe from the Deeep Fried Friends podcast for a two-parter on the Rote Armee Fraktion aka the Red Army Faction aka the Baader-Meinhof Gang. We examine this group through the lens of the film, the Baader Meinhof Complex. Joe explains Germany's New Left and 1968 movements leading into the formation of the terrorist organization, some of their earlier actions, and one or two very interesting events in their early career.
