Baader-Meinhof Complex

From what I got out of Wikipedia, in 1967, Germans were protesting and trying to have their voices heard about how their government is going to be affected. German’s were very anxious that their government would be destroyed. After protests, shootings, and a bombing occurred more drama was added to the story. There were trials and prison time being done. But, as people of Germany spent more time around each other due to the trials and cluster they made, they all started to develop an odd alliance. Although there were traitors and schemes being pulled, the people involved in the trial were scared and nervous to what was going to happen to them and what was coming next. The German Government decides to have all government officials are under federal control for one day in West Germany so they can track down the remaining members of The Red Army Faction (RAF). But that didn’t help the Germany's terrorist group, RAF, which organized bombings, robberies, and kidnappings. The plan was to get the 2 main characters out of prison, or else they will end up dead like the others. Numerous people are eventually killed for the blaming of the member being murdered in prison. People starved and were uncared for in the prisons and were told the length of the war was undetermined. The RAF planned a massacre to kidnap an important government official so they have a hostage. The people in prison don’t expect what’s coming being all forms of communication are taken away from them. The war was coming their way. What is surprising though, is that the RAF members in the prison are all found dead the morning after a plan by the government to terrorize the prison was set in place.
