The Victims

Left-wing German terrorists we responsible for the murders of almost 30 people during the Baader-Meinhof era of 1970 through the time of the "German Autumn" of 1977. Dozens more were wounded. At least four innocent people were killed by police during their efforts to stop the terrorists. Below is a list of every single murder victim of the era, along with a select list of people injured or kidnapped, but were not killed. For propriety sake, I have not included Ingeborg Barz and Ulrich Schmucker, two urban guerrillas presumed to have been killed by other terrorists in their own faction.
