Book made in the Netherlands, by the Rode Jeugd (Red Youth). The book is a report of a undercover operation of the BVD (Ducth Secret Service) now the AIVD in 1973. The aim of the BVD was to have a infiltrator within the Red Youth and who was able to deliver a gun with the fingerprints of one of the heads of the Red Youth. The infiltrator played along with the BVD and the gun was supposed to be handed at at secret meeting in a bar to a BVD agent. When the BVD agent unfolded the package in front of the “infiltrator” there was only a tissue and no gun. The “infiltrator” said they would needed it for crying because there operation had failed thus realizing their “infiltrator” played a game with them. In this book is the full report, along with transcripted phonecalls and pictures of the “handover”.
The Red Youth organization stem from a group of people around the magazine “The Red Youth” founded in 1966 by the Pro-Chinese Red Flag movement.
In 1967, relatively shortly after the emergence, the group split from the Red Flag movement to set up its own organization.
A small group of 15 people traveled to South Yemen to follow a camp of the People’s Front for the liberation of Palestine combat training, where the RAF was also doing it’s training. In the end, a number of attacks, including bomb attacks, were conducted mainly in and around teh city of Eindhoven in the Netherlands. However, no of these actions were people killed.
In September 1972, the car from the Chief Commissioner of the police and the house of the mayor was blown up. When preparing attacks, the Red Youth was also assited by the Marxist-Leninist Party in the Netherlands. In fact, the MLPN was a undercover operation of the domestic security service.
Part of the Red Youth was the Red Aid, in support of prisoners and the Red Resistance Front, an organization that conducted protestactions in support of caught RAF members and also provided certain support to the RAF.
