"oh lord won't you buy me a mercedes benz" June 2nd 1967 was a watershed in German postwar history so pivotal that the date would be used by a terrorist grouping as their name. Benno Ohnesorg was shot dead by a policeman. Ohnesorg had been peacefully protesting the visit of the then Shah of Iran to the then West Berlin. It has now emerged the policeman in question, Karl-Heinz Kurras had been a member of the STASI since 1955 though there is no evidence he was acting on their orders at the time of the shooting. June 2nd 1967 was a watershed in German postwar history so pivotal that the date would be used by a terrorist grouping as their name & a monument in Berlin would be raised in memory of the student Benno Ohnesorg was shot in the back of the head & quite dead by a policeman. Ohnesorg had been peacefully protesting the visit of the then Shah of Iran to the then West Berlin Opera to hear Mozart's Magic. After that shooting many believe the 1968 and subsequent social movements and agitation in the then West German state began. TThe "fascist cop" had shot "the innocent kid".
