On 2 February 1972, the 2 June Movement declared responsibility for a bombing at the British Yacht Club in West Berlin.

On the fifth anniversary of Benno Ohnesorg's death, a bomb exploded in West Berlin.  To this day, no group has taken responsibility for the bombing, although it was inferred that attack was the action of 2 June Movement.<ref name="Campana, P.J. (2010)" />

In mid-1974, 2 June Movement member Ulrich Schmücker was shot to death by others in the organization.  Although it is not clear what the rationale was for the shooting, Schmücker was believed to be an informant.  The opposing argument was that the murder was an accident.<ref name="Huffman, R.

After Red Army Faction member [[Holger Meins]] died of starvation in prison, the 2 June Movement attempted a kidnapping of Superior Court Justice [[Günter von Drenkmann]], who was killed in the process.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Brown |first1=Timothy Scott |title=West Germany and the Global Sixties: The Anti-Authoritarian Revolt, 1962–1978 |date=2013 |language=en |isbn=978-1-107-47034-7 |publisher=Cambridge University Press |page=347 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=NVUCAQAAQBAJ&pg=PA347 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.bz-berlin.de/berlin/kolumne/schon-seit-50-jahren-muss-berlin-die-gewalt-von-links-ertragen|title=Schon seit 50 Jahren muss Berlin die Gewalt von links ertragen|work=BZ Berlin (in german)|date=June 2021 |accessdate=2022-04-30}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.swr.de/swr2/wissen/archivradio/sicherheitsvorkehrungen-in-bw-nach-tod-von-holger-meins-und-mord-an-guenter-von-drenkmann-100.html|title=Verstärkte Sicherheitsvorkehrungen nach Tod von Holger Meins und Mord an Günter von Drenkmann|work=SWR2 (in german)|accessdate=2022-04-30}}</ref>
