August 11, 1973 - Uwe Mundlos

One of three core members of the National Socialist Underground, Mundlos operated underground for over a decade as part of a cell that carried out racially motivated killings and bombings largely without detection by German authorities. The group's ability to evade law enforcement for so long — and the institutional failures that allowed it — made the NSU case one of the most significant domestic terrorism scandals in postwar German history.

From Wikipedia

Uwe Mundlos

Uwe Mundlos (11 August 1973 – 4 November 2011) was a German neo-Nazi, right-wing terrorist and serial killer. Together with Uwe Böhnhardt and Beate Zschäpe, he formed the nucleus of the terrorist group National Socialist Underground (NSU), which was responsible for 10 murders, 43 attempted murders, 3 explosive attacks, and 15 bank robberies in Germany between 1998 and 2011. He died, presumably by suicide, after a bank robbery led to his discovery by police.
