Political activist [[Fritz Teufel]] became one of the leaders of the 2 June Movement.<ref name="Campana, P.J.

In 1967, Teufel became a quasi-icon in West Germany after being arrested.  Charged with [[treason]] and the attempted assassination of United States Vice President [[Hubert Humphrey]], Teufel was eventually acquitted.  His humorous image was constructed following his arrest, as he and his associates were brought into questioning with a flour-pudding-yogurt concoction that was to be used as a "bomb".  On 2 June 1967, Teufel was arrested again, this time falsely accused of throwing a rock at police and provoking the riot at which Benno Ohnesorg was killed.  This time, he served six months in jail.<ref>Grimes, W. (7 August 2010). [https://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/08/world/europe/08teufel.html "Fritz Teufel, a German Protester in the '60s, Dies at 67"].

In 1975, Teufel was arrested and charged with kidnapping [[Peter Lorenz]], spending five years in [[pre-trial detention]].  When he came to trial, he was able to prove he was working in a toilet seat factory at the time, yet was still convicted of various charges and given a sentence of five years, which he had already served.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/08/world/europe/08teufel.html|title=Fritz Teufel, a German Protester in the '60s, Dies at 67|last=Grimes|first=William|date=2010-08-07|work=The New York Times|access-date=2019-04-30|language=en-US|issn=0362-4331}}</ref>

Although the 2 June Movement never developed a clear ideology or purpose for its existence, Teufel's political activism was rooted in his hatred for his parents' generation.  Just like many students and activists of his age, Teufel was angered by the [[Nazi]] regime of the previous generation, and fought to eliminate that image from Germany.  Much of the resentment was directed towards those who had played a role in the Nazi regime, especially those who had never taken any responsibility for their actions.<ref>Brown, E. (9 August 2010).
