The Palestinian terrorist group Black September holds Israeli athletes hostage at the 1972 Summer Olympic Games in Munich.
Steph. What a great documentary. It really makes you think. The security was so lax at the Munich Olympics in 1972 that the terrorist basically just had to hope a fence. And while watching this I couldn't help but think, whether I'm right or wrong, that the German government at that time was still a little anti-semantic. For some reason the Germany army wasn't allowed to go in and get the hostages, and the German police messed up every opportunity they had to get them. It would have been comical if it weren't so tragic. Seriously, the best way I know how to describe the German police in this documentary is cluster fuck. This was very riveting and you should totally check this out.
