Hitler's Children

Hitler's Children is a 1977 biography of the West German militant left-wing group, the Red Army Faction (also known as the Baader-Meinhof Gang), by South African author Jillian Becker.

It accounts the deeds of the group up to the suicide of Ulrike Meinhof, having been written before German Autumn.

It not only chronicles the group but provides a brief bio of the main members, most notably Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin and Ulrike Meinhof. Despite offering the reader the opportunity to "draw his own conclusions" on the subject, the book has been accused of a pro-state bias. Jillian Becker has been accused repeatedly of bias in her books, to which she has responded: "Of course I am biased, it is the choice between the epitome of evil and a free democratic state. Whom do you think I favour?"

Tom Vague in his book Televisionaries claims that Becker "gleefully points out" the deaths of two German terrorists during a hi-jacking who are affiliated with a similar group.

Elsewhere in the book the author refers to Ulrike Meinhof's "characteristic inefficiency" and fellow member Siegfried Hausner's persistent bungling as an urban guerilla.
