Wilfried Böse (1949–1976) was a founding member of the left-wing German terrorist group Revolutionary Cells. He led the 1976 hijacking of Air France Flight 139 to Entebbe, Uganda, where he famously told a Jewish passenger who showed him his Auschwitz tattoo "I'm no Nazi! ... I am an idealist."[1] Böse was killed during Operation Entebbe, when Israel Defense Forces commandos stormed the airport terminal where the hostages were being held.
He is played by German actor Klaus Kinski in the film Operation Thunderbolt, Helmut Berger in Victory at Entebbe, Horst Buchholz in the film Raid on Entebbe (film), and by Aljoscha Stadelmann in the miniseries Carlos (TV miniseries).
