BANDIDOS V. HELL'S ANGELS - Biker Turf War Escalating in Germany


The Bandidos and the Hell's Angels are waging all-out war for dominance in Germany. Court testimony by a former member -- who crossed his gang and is now living in protective custody -- is providing frightening details about these secretive societies.

The most recent exchange of fire between Bandidos and Angels took place over two minutes on a Saturday afternoon in early February on a market square in the city of Cottbus, southeast of Berlin. This time the roles were reversed -- the Angels were hunting down a Bandido. The Bandido in question, 25-year-old Andre S., feared for his life and fired his pistol five times. His 27-year-old attacker, Robert H., was hit and two bullets became lodged in his upper body. Only emergency surgery saved his life.

The Angels launched their attack on the Bandido despite the fact that he was with his 22-year-old wife and their 11-week-old son. The woman was also hit. From a car, the attacking Angels threatened to kill her and the baby. Until then, attacks on or in the presence of a biker's family were considered incompatible with "biker honor."

During the ensuing search of the apartment of the "president" of a Brandenburg Bandido chapter, police officers shot the man's dog. The "president," however, observed the code of silence and kept quiet, just as all bikers do -- except Rolf D.
