Petra Schelm born 20 August 1950 in Hamburg At 19, Petra Schelm was one of the younger members of the RAF. She also had certain working-class credentials since she had been a hairdresser and had planned on a career in beauty parlors before deciding to give her all to the communist cause. The young lady was driving a blue BMW on July 15, 1971 when police gave a signal to stop. She ignored it and stepped on the gas, so the cops gave chase. The police car overtook the BMW and the blue car braked. The male passenger got out and shot at the police, who returned fire and ordered the pair to surrender. Schelm began firing. The man with her tried to run away on foot. Schelm ducked behind another vehicle and kept blasting away at the police. An officer fired with a machine gun, shooting Schelm in the head and killing her.........
