Jan-Carl Raspe

Jan-Carl Raspe (24 July 1944 – 18 October 1977) was a member of the German militant group, the Red Army Faction (RAF).

His father, a businessman, died before his birth and Raspe and his two older sisters were raised by his mother and two aunts.

[4] On 1 June 1972, Raspe along with Andreas Baader and Holger Meins had gone to check on a garage in Frankfurt where they had been storing materials used to make incendiary devices.

Meins and Baader had already entered the garage and were surrounded but Raspe, who had remained by the car, fired a shot from his gun and tried to run away when he was rushed by police, but to no avail; he was caught and arrested in a nearby garden.

[7][8][9] Fellow RAF members and inmates, Baader and Gudrun Ensslin, were found dead in their cells the same morning.
