Birth(+)Fact(x)Death(-) Calendar

The Kommando consisted of six members: Karl-Heinz Dellwo, Siegfried Hausner, Hanna-Elise Krabbe, Bernhard Rössner, Lutz Taufer and Ulrich Wessel. Hostage military attaché Andreas Baron von Mirbach was marched out on to the landing and shot dead. Economic attaché Hillegaart was made to stand at a window, and was then shot three times. Minutes before Swedish police were to storm the building Ulrich Wessel dropped a grenade which killed him and detonated a TNT cache. The remaining hostages as well as the other RAF members all suffered severe burns. Siegfried Hausner was flown back to Stammheim Prison in West Germany where he died of his wounds on 5 May.
