THAT period was no fun at all.
I lived in Bavaria three years in that time, including the year the Bader-Meinhof Gang set off a bomb at the entrance to Oktoberfest in München - a guy my wife worked with lost a foot in that. It was meant to go off when a high-ranking USAEUR group of officers was to be there but the communist/anarchist group’s timing was off.
I remember checking our cars every day morning and night (even on-base) for bombs - friend of MINE actually HAD one planted under his car.
“By Any Means Necessary” they say. Believe it.
Remember the posters hanging on lamp post with the pics of the gang and a slash through them when they were caught?
