Peter Urbach

Peter Urbach (2 May 1940 – 3 May 2011) was an informant and agent provocateur of the West Berlin domestic intelligence agency, the Verfassungsschutz, in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He had contacts with the Kommune 1 and with several people who would go on to form the German terrorist organization, Red Army Faction. He supplied the scene with weapons, Molotov cocktails and bombs.

German historian Gerd Koenen called the planned disappearance of Urbach by the Verfassungsschutz, and the lack of official inquiries of Urbach's possible actions in fostering leftist terrorism, "one of the greatest scandals of its kind in the history of the Federal Republic of Germany", and added that the ongoing lack of clarification would result in a "disturbing silence".
