The Undiscovered Existence of RAF Activist Daniela Klette in the Berlin Underground

In light of current knowledge, the question of how former RAF terrorist Daniela Klette managed to reside in the German capital without attracting attention and while armed is moving to the center of the security policy discussion. For decades, she was able to lead an undetected life in Berlin—a circumstance that causes not only immense surprise but also raises profound questions. The thorough examination of her case could potentially reveal connections to left-wing extremist circles in Berlin-Kreuzberg and beyond, which may continue to offer safe havens for individuals whose actions are characterized by the violent enforcement of their political objectives. The reverence shown to Klette in these circles as a 'comrade' could provide valuable leads for the investigative authorities and support the efforts to locate and apprehend yet elusive followers from her active period. This phenomenon casts a spotlight on the challenges of internal security in an urban environment, where the shadows of past forms of extremism and the dynamics of modern large city cultures meet. The answers to these pressing questions could be significant not only for the processing of German history but also for the country's preventive security architecture.
