How does Germany's increased military spending relate to its historical pacifism and the broader geopolitical context of great power competition?

This increased military spending is a direct response to the perceived threat from Russia and a desire to play a more assertive role in European security. The "Zeitenwende", or turning point, signifies Germany's departure from post-Cold War pacifism and a renewed focus on hard power in international relations. This is evidenced by the planned increase in military personnel and infrastructure upgrades.

What were the immediate consequences of the 1972 arrests of core RAF members, and how did these impact the German judicial system?

In 1972, German police arrested core members of the Red Army Faction (RAF), leading to trials at Stuttgart-Stammheim prison. The trials, costing 20 million Marks (10.2 million Euros), were marred by disruptions including hunger strikes and the suicide of member Holger Meins and Ulrike Meinhof. This resulted in the convictions of several RAF members, including Baader, Ensslin, and Raspe, although these were never legally finalized due to their subsequent deaths in prison.
