The Baader-Meinhof Gang was one of the most significant terrorist organisations in post-war West Germany.

Betweens the sixties and eighties nearly 100 Germans joined terrorist organisations in the fight against capitalism and they had hundreds of supporters and sympathisers. Terrorist organisations like J2M and The SPK were very closely linked to the Baader-Meinhof Gang and indeed many of their members mixed and at times these terrorist organisations were synonymous with each other (e.g. The 1975 Occupation of the West German embassy)).

The Baader-Meinhof Gang grew larger and larger as its influence got bigger, resulting in second and third 'generations' of the gang. Below is a selected list of the main members of the gang.
