Germans were, apparently, ‘offended’ by Berlusconi’s stupid remark in the European ‘parliament’ but not, it seems, by this:

”At least 30 people were killed during the [Red Army Faction’s ]long terror campaign that began in the 1960s. Despite this, its star logo is now in vogue in Germany, adorning T-shirts. The magazine Der Spiegel recently ran a Prada-Meinhof fashion feature in which models posed as terrorists, and a novel about the romance between Baader and a fellow terrorist Gudrun Ensslin is a best-seller. “

Or this:

“[An] exhibition of Red Army Faction memorabilia is being planned at a time when “terror chic” is on the rise in Germany, with catwalk models flaunting the crushed velvet flares and Ray-Ban sunglasses favoured by the late Marxist guerrilla leader Andreas Baader.”
