And just for the record: The RAF’s methods were never in any way popular.
I have to say that it’s kind of annoying that the Red Army Faction shares an acronym with the Royal Air Force. Every time I see the thing, I do a momentary double-take.
They themselves couldn’t even get the name straight, in German publications they used Rote Armee Fraktion, in English Red Army Faction. The distinction between fraction and faction is the exact same in German and English (fraction is a mere part of a unified whole, while a faction disagrees with the rest of the whole, to put it simply).
