Munich '72: The true story

It was supposed to be a cheerful Games.
But the 1972 Munich Olympics went down in history as the scene of a bloody terrorist attack of unprecedented proportions.

It is a horror scenario that takes place in the Olympic village in Munich on September 5, 1972.
Eight Palestinian terrorists sneak into the Israeli team quarters, kill two Israelis and take nine others hostage.
The German security forces are completely unprepared for such a crisis situation.
When, after tough negotiations, the terrorists want to be flown out with their hostages, the police prepare a rescue operation at Fürstenfeldbruck military airport.
But this is where disaster strikes.
