The Limited Times: This is how RAF terrorist Daniela Klette was able to go into hiding for 30 years: “Grandmas and grandpas who are adored”
"The fact that Daniela Klette was able to stay hidden in Kreuzberg for so long is no coincidence, says terrorism expert Hans-Jakob Schindler from the Counter Extremism Project (CEP) to IPPEN.MEDIA.
“There is a large and very active left-wing extremist scene in Berlin.
Many people in this milieu still consider the RAF men to be heroes.
For the new generation of left-wing extremists, these are grandmas and grandpas who are revered.”
With such a well-connected support scene behind them, it was easier to go into hiding: “The trio didn’t have to rent an apartment and were also supported financially,” explains Schindler."
