LESSON: ALWAYS LISTEN TO RADICAL DOUBT
Fascinating and instructive:
It has now emerged that Mr Kurras, the former West Berlin police officer who shot the young student protester Benno Ohnesorg in 1967, was actually a spy working for East Germany's secret police, the Stasi.
For years, Mr Kurras deceived his colleagues in the West Berlin police service and the German public.
The death of Ohnesorg on 2 June 1967 during a demonstration against a visit by the Shah of Iran sparked the student protest movement in West Germany and the turmoil of 1968.
...
"The Stasi merely described the shooting as an 'unlucky accident' in the file and they broke off contact with Kurras after the shooting," he adds.
