Die größte Geiselnahme Deutschlands

Hanns Martin Schleyer – Symbol of the West German Establishment. Kidnapped by the RAF. Murdered to make a statement. The so-called "German Autumn" of 1977 brought the Federal Republic of Germany to the brink of constitutional collapse. In this video, we reconstruct the kidnapping of Hanns Martin Schleyer, the subsequent hijacking of the "Landshut" plane, and the fatal end on the night of Stammheim. A story about power, terror, morality, and a state that had to choose between adherence to principles and human lives. 00:00 Introduction and Trigger Warning 01:30 How the RAF Came to Be 04:00 The Second Generation's Plan 05:30 The Kidnapping of Hanns Martin Schleyer 08:30 The Ambush in Cologne 10:00 The Government's Reaction 12:00 Schleier is Deported Abroad 14:00 The Landshut Kidnapping 15:30 GSG 9 and the Night of Death in Stammheim 16:30 The End of Hanns Martin Schleyer 17:00 Dissolution of the Commando 18:30 The Consequences to This Day Want more in-depth political research, historical analyses, and real cases?
