Great write up, just a few things--ArchangeI posted:Now for what you wrote: Meinhof wasn't "turned in", she was captured when she went shopping for clothes and a clerk noticed a gun in her bag. A short time later, Baader and Enslin were also captured. The three were kept separate during their initial trial, a common practice in trials involving several accused to prevent them from coordinating their defense. The RAF claimed this to be torture by isolation (Isolationsfolter), and demanded to be treated as POWs. They were somewhat successful, and the isolation was lessened to a great degree, allowing them to freely talk and interact during daytime. Naturally, the RAF kept that secret. It was actually Ensslin that was arrested when she was out shopping. Meinhof was arrested after her whereabouts were tipped off to the police by a kind of hostel owner. Baader was arrested during a long shootout against half of the Frankfurt police force. quote:During the trial, there appears to have been a falling out between Baader/Enslin and Meinhof. The former accused the latter of not being sufficiently revolutionary, which may have caused her to commit suicide by hanging herself in her cell. In May of 1972 Meinhof once again used contact to plant a bomb in the conservative news group Axel Springer's office. While she made sure to call in the bomb threat, emergency services didn't take it seriously and the bomb ended up injuring 17 workers (proletariat, if you will). In prison, Baader and Ensslin hung the fact that she had dirtied the RAF name with the maiming of innocent workers of Germany and many believe that she hanged herself because of this. While the moniker bears her name, Ulrike Meinhof could hardly be called a leader of the Red Army Faction. Baader and Ensslin were the true revolutionaries, while their lawyer Horst Mahler was who made everything run smooth (he even organized a vacation to the West Bank to train with PFLP fighters). Little more than petty criminals, the first generation still made the largest impact. The second generation was mostly friends of Baader and Ensslin, and they were the ones who made the RAF a household name around the world (with one of the more infamous hijackings of the 70s). The third generation were possibly some of the greatest practitioners of revolutionary terrorism. They were the ones who went after big government and big bankers. The Schleyer raid was pulled off with military precision as Hans Schleyer had a pretty big security detail. The murder of Deutsche Bank chairman Alfred Herrhausen (assisted by the GDR Stasi) was most impressive-- "On the morning of November 30, 1989, Alfred Herrhausen was being chauffeured in an armor-plated Mercedes through Bad Homburg on his way to the Deutsche Bank towers in Frankfurt. His vehicle was the second in a three-car convoy, with bodyguards riding ahead and behind. It was then that the Red Army struck with a precision IED, their most spectacular terrorist attack. The RAF planned their attack well, planting their bomb in a satchel on a bicycle parked beside the route. The bomb was linked to an infrared beam, which terrorists posing as workmen had set up across the road. The terrorists allowed the lead car through, and then activated the beam. When Herrhausen’s car broke the beam, the bomb went off. It consisted of ten kilos of explosive and a two-kilo copper plate, aimed so that it would strike the passenger seat.The metal pierced the armored limo and Herrhausen was wounded in the legs; he bled to death shortly afterwards, before medical assistance arrived. His driver was severely wounded. "

It isn't quite the same story, but your request did remind me of an autobiographical comic drawn by a Japanese soldier who was taken prisoner by the Russians and spent WWII traveling West and eventually ending up in a POW camp in Ukraine:    You can read his whole story and see his illustrations at this multilingual site

Hahaha Christ, they literally repurposed the picture from the Army's Future Force Warrior project to hype this guy. All they did is photoshop the gun out of his hand, NSC off his helmet, and the flag off his bicep. Shoulder emblem is the same and everything.

   These pictures are taken from the Congo Free State, an African country controlled by Belgium in the late 19th century. King Leopold II used the Congo Free State to profit off of several resources, most notably, rubber. Slavery was the main source of labor, and soldiers were used to enforce rubber quotas. The punishment for not meeting these quotas was death, with the soldiers later removing the hands to prove that they had killed someone. However, some soldiers would simply cut off a person's hand while they were still alive, probably to save on ammunition. It is estimated that during the existence of the Congo Free State, between 5 and 20 million people were killed.

To expand on this, soldiers were required to account for their ammunition by bringing back a hand for each bullet fired. Belgian soldiers would hunt for food or sport, and then attack Congolese people to take their hands. Whipping scars on an American slave, 1863:

Police open fire with rubber bullets near point blank and release dogs on women and children who were protesting and demanding answers for the fact the police earlier had shot dead a man who everyone who witnessed the events said there was no reason for the police to open fire. And basically no one gives a poo poo because this happens constantly. Well, more on shooting:

 The African Renaissance statue in Senegal, built in the social realist manner by north Korean artists. There's a bit of controversy surrounding it, not the least because the people don't actually look like Africans.
