Irmgard Möller (born 1947) was a member of the Red Army Faction in Germany. On 24 May, 1972 she was one of two people that drove cars full of explosives into a U.S. Army base in Heidelberg. Three soldiers were killed in the attack. Sentenced to a lengthy prison term, Möller supposedly attempted suicide by stabbing herself in the chest on the morning of October 18, 1977, together with other Red Army members Andreas Baader, Gudrun Ensslin and Jan-Carl Raspe, during the height of the German Autumn. Möller was the only member of the group to survive, and later claimed that it was actually an extrajudicial killing, orchestrated by the German government, in response to Red Army demands that the prisoners be released. Möller was released from prison in 1994.
