Michael Buback, his father and the former RAF
In April 2007, 30 years after the assassination, Siegfried Buback's violent death became the subject of public discussion again when Michael Buback was contacted by former RAF member Peter-Jürgen Boock. Boock shared details with Buback's son indicating that it was Stefan Wisniewski who had fired the gun at Siegfried Buback. Michael Buback published the results of own investigations concerning the assassination of his father in the book Der zweite Tod meines Vaters (The Second Death of My Father) in 2008.
