Sep 24, 2004

Hans Wolgast is executed with a shot in the head in the idyllic town of Husum to Mozart's Magic Flute.

The traces lead to Berlin to the scattered remnants of the RAF and its still functioning cable groups. Wolgast lived there in a shared apartment before he, like so many former terrorists, fled to the GDR in the 1980s.
