Monday, 2nd June 2025 marks a date of historical significance when viewed through the lens of past events and notable figures. In 1967, the death of Benno Ohnesorg, a German university student shot during protests in West Berlin against the Shah of Iran's visit, proved a pivotal moment in European political history. His killing sparked the formation of the anarchist militant 2 June Movement, which would influence radical activism across the continent for decades. Earlier that same year, in 1995, U.S. Air Force captain Scott O'Grady was shot down over Bosnia whilst patrolling a NATO no-fly zone, though he managed to eject safely and was rescued six days later. These events underscore how this particular date has witnessed moments that reshaped international relations and security operations.
