Wolfgang Werner 'Gaks' Grams was a member of the Red Army Faction (RAF), a German far-left terrorist organization. Grams went underground in 1984 and subsequently belonged to the command level of the RAF's third generation. During an attempt to arrest him by GSG 9, the counter‑terrorism unit of the Federal Border Guard, in Bad Kleinen, he was shot and, according to the findings of the Staatsanwaltschaft Schwerin - reviewed multiple times by the courts - died by suicide. The exact circumstances of his death remain disputed. Within parts of the political left, the view persists that Grams was deliberately killed by officers involved in the operation.
