Baader-Meinhof Questions


The opposition to the German authorities, as developed and implemented by the first generation of Baader-Meinhof group members needs to be defined.

How did they organize their protest? What actions did they execute?

 
The initial Baader-Meinhof group was far more loosely organized in membership and crime execution. The crimes were far less violent than the more recent derivation and pertained to more political viewpoints in their reasoning.

 
2. In what ways did your level of identification with the group change from the beginning of the movie to the end?

 
Initially, I didn’t mind the group as much ( still I think they’re a bunch of idiots), but as time progressed I found that I dislike the group even more. This is because their attacks became much  more terroristic in all avenues and far more deadly.


3. Did the determination and rudeness displayed by Andreas Baader have a key role in the group dynamics, and in what ways?

 
Yes, I feel his rudeness set the tempo for the younger and upcoming members of the group. His rudeness impacted the methods of the latter generations by imposing a do anything you please mentality, however, the newer generations took it one step further than he intended.
