Episode 3 • Dec 31, 1969
Der Staat
Germany in autumn 1977. "Urban guerrillas aim to destroy the state apparatus of domination - to destroy the myth of the omnipresence of the system and its inviolability." This was written by the so-called Red Army Faction RAF in their "Concept Urban Guerrilla". Seven years later the "omnipresence of the system" was not a myth, it had become a daily reality. Legislators and law enforcement authorities installed an apparatus that had previously been unimaginable: computer searches, the computer systems PIOS, Nadis, Inpol; more money, more posts, better equipment for police, constitutional protection and federal border guards; anti-terror laws, fortified courtrooms, high-security wings. The balance after seven years of fighting in the underground was alarming: 28 people died in attacks or gunfire, 17 members of the "urban guerilla" were killed. Two completely uninvolved persons had been accidentally shot by the police during investigations. 47 dead - 47 names - 47 fates: Jürgen Ponto, Siegfried Buback, Hanns-Martin Schleyer - Ulrike Meinhof, Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin - In the end, the RAF had felt the "omnipresence of the system", against which it had originally been set up, at first hand - during the contact ban: guards, bars, concrete. The core of the RAF, which was located in Stuttgart-Stammheim, saw only one way out: death. They had divided the world: "Either pig or man. Either survive at all costs or fight to the death. Either problem or solution. There is nothing in between".
