Interview
Inside the Rote Armee Fraktion
1974. Baader, Ensslin, Meinhof, Meins, and Raspe, the leaders of the Red Armee Fraction, are in prison. They go on hunger strike to protest against the conditions in their cells.
In this collective struggle Holger Meins ultimately dies from starvation. Left-wing Germany is shocked. The sympathizers of the Red Armee Fraction accuse the state of murder. In april 1975 a group of Raf-terrorists, calling themselves the commando Holger Meins, attack the German embassy in Stockholm. They take hostages, shoot two German attachés, and demand the release of the prisoners. Due to an untimely explosion the action comes to an early end. Two Raf-members are killed, the others caught by the police.
This tragedy is the starting point of an interview with Karl-Heinz Dellwo, one of the Raf-members involved in the Stockholm action. Dellwo was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1977, and released in 1995. He now lives in Hamburg, and works as a documentary filmmaker. In 2004 David Aronowitsch made a film about his experiences, called Stockholm 1975.
Karl-Heinz Dellwo will be interviewed by Jacco Pekelder. Jacco pekelder is research co-ordinator at the Duitsland Instituut of the University of Amsterdam.
