Baader Meinhof: Pictures On The Run, 67-77.

Zurich/Berlin/NY: Scalo, 1998. First edition. Sm. 4to. Illustrated boards. Unpaginated (160pp.).

A collection of photographs of the Red Army Faction, from the death of Benno Ohnesorg in Berlin in June 1967, through to the murder of Hanns Martin Schleyer in October 1977. Introductory text by Proll, who was an early member of the Red Army Faction.

Interviewed by Iain Sinclair for his book, “Hackney, That Rose-Red Empire” (2009), Proll, who lived undercover in Hackney during the 1970s, states that “The deaths of all those Red Army Faction people in prison are a mix of everything. I think they killed themselves. Not Meinhof, the other ones. They say it was a plot. They made it look like they were killed. The whole thing is incredible. The story goes on, it sells. The state is only interested in keeping power. Left and right are coming together. Like here. Both your parties are conservative. The people are nice but England is completely conservative. Everything is property, everything.” (p.569).

During her time living in Hackney, Proll was employed in a factory, took a Council-sponsored welding course in car mechanics, and worked as a park keeper in Clissold Park in Stoke Newington, before returning to Germany in 1979.

Fine.
