59.5 x 42cm, green, red and black offset lithographic poster protesting the death of Wolfgang Grams during a shoot out with German police. Grams was a second generation Rote Armee Faktion sympathiser and perhaps activist who was stopped at the Bad Kleinen train station by the GSG 9 (a police tactical unit) and after pulling a gun shot two of the police, killing one. He himself died supposedly by falling backwards onto the track and committing suicide but many believe he was shot in the hear by one of the GSG 9. This poster protests the killing which they claim to be murder. Three b/w photographs - one of Grams.

This is in poor condition with lots of surface scuffs on the left of the poster and small closed tears. Priced to account for this condition.

Officers were quoted as saying they saw Grams "suddenly fall backward" off the station platform and onto the track. Either before or after he fell, he allegedly shot himself in the head. He was taken to the Medizinische Universität zu Lübeck by helicopter where he died from his wounds a few hours later.

From Foundation Prada:

"The movie covers two months in 1977 during which a businessman was kidnapped, and later murdered, by the left-wing terrorists known as the RAF–Rote Armee Fraktion (Red Army Faction). The businessman had been kidnapped in an effort to secure the release of the original leaders of the RAF, also known as the Baader-Meinhof gang. When the kidnapping and a plane hijacking effort failed, the three prominent leaders of the RAF—Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ersslin, and Jean-Carl Raspe—all committed suicide in prison. It has become an article of faith within the left-wing community that they were murdered by the State. The movie has several vignettes, including an extended set of scenes with the famous directors Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Volker Schlöndorff, as well as the poet Heinrich Böll. Other scenes include documentary footage of the joint funeral of Baader, Ersslin, and Raspe. This is a zero-print, i.e. the director’s cut by Alexander Kluge and his chief editor Beate Mainka-Jellinghaus."
