The Bullet That Built Germany - June 2, 1967

from The Daily History Chronicle · host Richard G Backus

The bullet that killed Ohnesorg didn't just end one life. It radicalized a generation and simultaneously produced two of the most consequential political movements in modern German history, the Red Army Faction and the German Green Party. Both from the same night. The same death. The same rage at the same injustice. One became a terrorist. The other helped govern Germany. And the man responsible for all of it was working for the other side the whole time.This is The Daily History Chronicle a daily narrative history with genuine moral complexity.
