This photo shows Red Army Faction co-founder Horst Mahler (left of the photo in black shirt with white badge) attending a meeting of the German Nazi party the NPD, with British National Party chairman Nick Griffin (right of the photo, white shirt). The photo was taken by Nick Griffin's bodyguard, the BNP Liverpool election candidate and self-styled "Nazi Assassin" Joe Owens in 2002.

The Red Army Faction was the ultra-hard-line left-wing terror group also known as the Baader-Meinhof Gang, who, in the name of authoritarian Leninist-Maoist revolution, kidnapped and killed German industrialists and Nazis, but also killed traffic cops and the industrialists' chauffeurs etc. Baader-Meinhof actions started with non-violent arson attacks on department stores, carried out to express "solidarity" with the Vietcong, but escalated through an almost inevitable cycle-of-violence into attacks which killed 34 people, including bombings which killed completely innocent bystanders. After German reunification it was confirmed that the RAF had received considerable support from the STASI - the Secret Service of the East German State, and, despite justifying their violence as (among other things) a reaction to German Nazism, in fact the Baader-Meinhof hated Fascism so much that they subsidised German Nazis by buying guns from them.

Horst Mahler is currently serving a 12-year prison sentence for inciting racial hatred.
