Hans-Jürgen Wischnewski (1922-2005)

German Politician. A member of the German Social Democratic Party, he is remembered for one tense moment in international relations, when he masterminded the storming of a hijacked German aircraft in the Somali capital Mogadishu in 1977. For his international contacts his friends gave him the nickname "Ben Wisch".
