Later, however, he acknowledged that the movement had contributed to a "fundamental liberalisation" of German society.

Andreas Baader, Ulrike Meinhof, Gudrun Ensslin and Carl Raspe improved (in his view) German society?!

Not in the real world!

Says all about Herr Habermas's philosopy.

O/T, the Baader Meinhof gang operated in the area I served in from 77-81 (Rheinland Pfalz).

We had a remote Nike Hercules battery about 5 miles from our motor pool. When they had a Nuclear Surety Inspection, we were called out to provide a support team of 40 soldiers, and two towed Vulcans.

It was serious, we issued live ammunition and loaded the Vulcans to the breech with 20mm rounds. In the four hours we had to make our mission time, I took at least two for infantry refresher training (we were ADA).

Fortunately, we never had any injuries or saw a round fired accidentally. There were always observers from the nearest town, I had no doubt a few Gang members were there, too.
