Movie trailer link..http://www.baadermeinhofmovie.com/trailer_bmc/
If you ever get the chance check out the movie " The Baader Meinhof Complex"
In the 1970s, Germany was transfixed by the outlaw Baader-Meinhof Gang, terrorists who robbed banks, set off explosives, kidnapped, assassinated and otherwise attempted to bring the government to its knees. What were they against? The usual: U.S. imperialism and German capitalist oppression. What were their politics? Marxist, they thought, but actually reflecting the anarchist theory that random acts of violence could destroy the fabric of a society. They resembled the Weathermen but were longer-lived and much more destructive.
"The Baader Meinhof Complex" is an ambitious attempt to chart the group's rise, fall and tentative rebirth over the course of a decade, when it called itself the Red Army Faction. The film is historically accurate, I gather --perhaps too accurate, with too many names and places and dates and victims to comprehend. No doubt a German who lived through those years would understand it more easily.

Rotten bunch of basterds.
I was due for an appointment one day and was running late, they set off a car bomb at Rhine Main airbase, feet from where I was due to give an estimate for re-plumbing (steam) a laundromat. If I would have been on time chances are I'd be dead.

Even with the subs I thought it was a excellant flick..
It's about Nazi occupation in Norway and some guy (MAX) who is in on the ground floor of the resistance army...
Looks like it's going to be a good'n too..
D'load VUZE and the VLC player,U can see all U ever want,free of charge.
Looks good will have to order it on netflix.But I did notice in the trailer that altho it is in the sixties I saw a 70s english Ford Granada.I wonder how accurate it is.
The movie starts out in the late 60's then progress into the late 1970's !
