This revolutionary newspaper was an intense and hawkish forum for debate and discussion by militant left-wing groups and published the first public statement by the Rote Armee Fraktion (RAF) in issue no. 62, dated 5 June 1970. The paper was subject to close scrutiny by the government and many issues were confiscated or censored, including a number of the issues included in this grouping. Issue no. 84 still bears the original censorship label which reads, "Restauflage der beschlagnahmten Ausgabe". A substantial collection of the rare and important anarchist-libertarian journal.; as of March 2019, WorldCat locates only 5 North American institutional holdings, mostly partial.
