Olympia 1972 Der Erinnerungsort
Die Olympischen Sommerspiele fanden vom August bis zum September in München statt. Das IOC vergab sie am April an München, das sich gegen die Mitbewerber Montreal, Madrid und Detroit durchsetzte.

Die Olympischen Spiele in München sollten als "Fest des Friedens" in die Geschichte eingehen. Doch es kommt anders: Am 5. Die Olympischen Sommerspiele (offiziell Spiele der XX.

It was then that I really grasped what had happened and the emotion hit me. Author Simon Reeve , among others, writes that the shootout with the well-trained Black September members showed an egregious lack of preparation on the part of the German authorities.
They were not prepared to deal with this sort of situation. This costly lesson led directly to the founding, less than two months later, of police counter-terrorism branch GSG 9.
German authorities made a number of mistakes. First, because of restrictions in the post-war West German constitution , the army could not participate in the attempted rescue, as the German armed forces are not allowed to operate inside Germany during peacetime.
The responsibility was entirely in the hands of the Munich police and the Bavarian authorities. It was known a half-hour before the hostages and kidnappers had even arrived at Fürstenfeldbruck that the number of the latter was larger than first believed.
Despite this new information, Schreiber decided to continue with the rescue operation as originally planned and the new information could not reach the snipers since they had no radios.
It is a basic tenet of sniping operations that there are enough snipers at least two for each known target, or in this case a minimum of ten deployed to neutralize as many of the attackers as possible with the first volley of shots.
Instead, the helicopters were landed facing the control tower and at the centre of the airstrip. This not only gave them a place to hide after the gunfight began, but put Snipers 1 and 2 in the line of fire of the other three snipers on the control tower.
The snipers were denied valuable shooting opportunities as a result of the positioning of the helicopters, stacking the odds against what were effectively three snipers versus eight heavily armed gunmen.
According to the same program, the crisis committee delegated to make decisions on how to deal with the incident consisted of Bruno Merk the Bavarian interior minister , Hans-Dietrich Genscher the West German interior minister and Manfred Schreiber Munich's Chief of Police ; in other words, two politicians and one tactician.
The program mentioned that a year before the Games, Schreiber had participated in another hostage crisis a failed bank robbery in which he ordered a marksman to shoot one of the perpetrators, managing only to wound the robber.
As a result, the robbers shot an innocent woman dead. Schreiber was consequently charged with involuntary manslaughter.
An investigation ultimately cleared him of any wrongdoing, but the program suggested that the prior incident affected his judgment in the subsequent Olympic hostage crisis.
As mentioned earlier, the five German snipers at Fürstenfeldbruck did not have radio contact with one another nor with the German authorities conducting the rescue operation and therefore were unable to coordinate their fire.
The only contact the snipers had with the operational leadership was with Georg Wolf, who was lying next to the three snipers on the control tower giving orders directly to them.
In addition, the snipers did not have the proper equipment for this hostage rescue operation. There were also numerous tactical errors.
As mentioned earlier, "Sniper 2", who was stationed behind the signal tower, wound up directly in the line of fire of his fellow snipers on the control tower, without any protective gear and without any other police being aware of his location.
One of the helicopter pilots, Gunnar Ebel, was lying near "Sniper 2" and was also wounded by friendly fire.
Both Ebel and the sniper recovered from their injuries. Many of the errors made by the Germans during the rescue attempt were ultimately detailed by Heinz Hohensinn, who had participated in Operation Sunshine earlier that day.
He stated in One Day in September that he had been selected to pose as a crew member. He and his fellow policemen understood that it was a suicide mission, so the group unanimously voted to flee the plane.
None of them were reprimanded for that desertion. The bodies of the five Palestinian attackers—Afif, Nazzal, Chic Thaa, Hamid and Jamal—killed during the Fürstenfeldbruck gun battle were delivered to Libya, where they received heroes' funerals and were buried with full military honours.
The three surviving Black September gunmen had been arrested after the Fürstenfeldbruck gunfight, and were being held in a Munich prison for trial.
On 29 October, Lufthansa Flight was hijacked and threatened to be blown up if the Munich attackers were not released. Safady and the Al-Gasheys were immediately released by West Germany, receiving a tumultuous welcome when they touched down in Libya and as seen in One Day in September giving their own firsthand account of their operation at a press conference broadcast worldwide.
Further international investigations into the Lufthansa Flight incident have produced theories of a secret agreement between the German government and Black September release of the surviving terrorists in exchange for assurances of no further attacks on Germany.
In the wake of the hostage-taking, competition was suspended for 34 hours, for the first time in modern Olympic history, [61] after public criticism of the Olympic Committee's decision to continue the games.
On 6 September, a memorial service attended by 80, spectators and 3, athletes was held in the Olympic Stadium. IOC President Avery Brundage made little reference to the murdered athletes during a speech praising the strength of the Olympic movement and equating the attack on the Israeli sportsmen with the recent arguments about encroaching professionalism and disallowing Rhodesia 's participation in the Games, which outraged many listeners.
During the memorial service, Eliash collapsed and died of a heart attack. Many of the 80, people who filled the Olympic Stadium for West Germany 's football match with Hungary carried noisemakers and waved flags, but when several spectators unfurled a banner reading "17 dead, already forgotten?
Ten Arab nations objected to their flags flying at half-staff and the mandate was rescinded. Willi Daume, president of the Munich organizing committee, initially sought to cancel the remainder of the Games, but in the afternoon Brundage and others who wished to continue the Games prevailed, stating that they could not let the incident halt the Games.
On 6 September, after the memorial service, the remaining members of the Israeli team withdrew from the Games and left Munich.
All Jewish sportsmen were placed under guard. Mark Spitz , the American swimming star who had already completed his competitions, left Munich during the hostage crisis it was feared that as a prominent Jew, Spitz might be a kidnapping target.
The Egyptian team left the Games on 7 September, stating they feared reprisals. American marathon runner Kenny Moore , who wrote about the incident for Sports Illustrated , quoted Dutch distance runner Jos Hermens as saying "It's quite simple.
We were invited to a party, and if someone comes to the party and shoots people, how can you stay? Four years later at the Summer Olympics in Montreal, the Israeli team commemorated the massacre: when they entered the stadium at the Opening Ceremony, their national flag was adorned with a black ribbon.
The families of some victims have asked the IOC to establish a permanent memorial to the athletes. The IOC has declined, saying that to introduce a specific reference to the victims could "alienate other members of the Olympic community," according to the BBC.
The IOC rejected an international campaign in support of a minute of silence at the Opening Ceremony of the London Olympics in honour of the Israeli victims on the 40th anniversary of the massacre.
I do not understand, and I do not accept it. There is a memorial outside the Olympic stadium in Munich in the form of a stone tablet at the bridge linking the stadium to the former Olympic village.
On 15 October almost a year before the Sydney Games , a memorial plaque was unveiled in one of the large light towers Tower 14 outside the Sydney Olympic Stadium.
Golda Meir and the Israeli Defense Committee secretly authorized the Mossad to track down and kill those allegedly responsible for the Munich massacre.
In a February interview, [79] former Mossad chief Zvi Zamir answered direct questions:. We were not engaged in vengeance.
We are accused of having been guided by a desire for vengeance. That is nonsense. What we did was to concretely prevent in the future. We acted against those who thought that they would continue to perpetrate acts of terror.
I am not saying that those who were involved in Munich were not marked for death. They definitely deserved to die.
But we were not dealing with the past; we concentrated on the future. Did you not receive a directive from Golda Meir along the lines of "take revenge on those responsible for Munich?
Golda abhorred the necessity that was imposed on us to carry out the operations. Golda never told me to 'take revenge on those who were responsible for Munich.
We had no choice. We had to make them stop, and there was no other way But it was a question of sheer necessity.
We went back to the old biblical rule of an eye for an eye I approach these problems not from a moral point of view, but, hard as it may sound, from a cost-benefit point of view.
If I'm very hard-headed, I can say, what is the political benefit in killing this person? Will it bring us nearer to peace?
Will it bring us nearer to an understanding with the Palestinians or not? In most cases I don't think it will. But in the case of Black September we had no other choice and it worked.
Is it morally acceptable? One can debate that question. Is it politically vital? It was. Benny Morris writes that a target list was created using information from "turned" PLO personnel and friendly European intelligence services.
Once completed, a wave of assassinations of suspected Black September operatives began across Europe. A group of Sayeret commandos were taken in nine missile boats and a small fleet of patrol boats to a deserted Lebanese beach, before driving in two cars to downtown Beirut, where they killed Najjar, Adwan and Nassir.
The leader of the commando team that conducted the operations was Ehud Barak. On 21 July , in the Lillehammer affair , a team of Mossad agents mistakenly killed Ahmed Bouchiki , a Moroccan man unrelated to the Munich attack, in Lillehammer , Norway, [81] after an informant mistakenly said Bouchiki was Ali Hassan Salameh , the head of Force 17 and a Black September operative.
Five Mossad agents, including two women, were captured by the Norwegian authorities, while others managed to slip away. The Mossad later found Ali Hassan Salameh in Beirut and killed him on 22 January with a remote-controlled car bomb.
The attack killed four passersby and injured 18 others. There was a general feeling that Americans could be trusted. However, the scene of cooperation came to an end abruptly after the assassination of Salameh.
Americans were generally blamed as Israel's principal benefactors. Simon Reeve writes that the Israeli operations continued for more than twenty years.
He details the assassination in Paris in of Atef Bseiso , the PLO's head of intelligence, and says that an Israeli general confirmed there was a link back to Munich.
Reeve also writes that while Israeli officials have stated Operation Wrath of God was intended to exact vengeance for the families of the athletes killed in Munich, "few relatives wanted such a violent reckoning with the Palestinians.
Reeve outlines what he sees as a lengthy cover-up by German authorities to hide the truth. An article in in a front-page story of the German news magazine Der Spiegel reported that much of the information pertaining to the mishandling of the massacre was covered up by the German authorities.
For twenty years, Germany refused to release any information about the attack and did not accept responsibility for the results. The magazine reported that the government had been hiding 3, files, which contained tens of thousands of documents.
Der Spiegel said it obtained secret reports by authorities, embassy cables, and minutes of cabinet meetings that demonstrate the lack of professionalism of the German officials in handling the massacre.
The newspaper also wrote that the German authorities were told that Palestinians were planning an "incident" at the Olympics three weeks before the massacre, but failed to take the necessary security measures, and these facts are missing from the official documentation of the German government.
In August , Der Spiegel reported that following the massacre, Germany began secret meetings with Black September, at the behest of the West German government, due to the fear that Black September would carry out other terrorist attacks in Germany.
The government proposed a clandestine meeting between German Foreign Minister Walter Scheel and a member of Black September to create a "new basis of trust.
Al-Gashey was allegedly located after making contact with a cousin in a Gulf State , and Safady was found by remaining in touch with family in Lebanon.
Klein, who claims that Al-Gashey died of heart failure in the s, and that Safady was killed by Christian Phalangists in Lebanon in the early s.
The third surviving gunman, Jamal Al-Gashey , was known to be alive as of , hiding in North Africa or in Syria , claiming to still fear retribution from Israel.
He is the only one of the surviving terrorists to consent to interviews since , having granted an interview in to a Palestinian newspaper, and having briefly emerged from hiding in to participate in an interview for the film One Day in September , during which he was disguised and his face shown only in blurry shadow.
Of those believed to have planned the massacre, only Abu Daoud , the man who claims that the attack was his idea, is known to have died of natural causes.
Pless and, since , officially named Willi Voss seven weeks before the attack. Abu Daoud was allowed safe passage through Israel in so he could attend a PLO meeting convened in the Gaza Strip for the purpose of rescinding an article in its charter that called for Israel's eradication.
Though he claims he didn't know what the money was being spent for, longtime Fatah official Mahmoud Abbas, aka Abu Mazen, was responsible for the financing of the Munich attack.
Abu Daoud believed that if the Israelis knew that Mahmoud Abbas was the financier of the operation, the Oslo Accords would not have been achieved, during which Mahmoud Abbas was seen in photo ops at the White House.
Abu Daoud, who lived with his wife on a pension provided by the Palestinian Authority , said that "the Munich operation had the endorsement of Arafat," although Arafat was not involved in conceiving or implementing the attack.
In his autobiography, Abu Daoud writes that Arafat saw the team off on the mission with the words "God protect you.
Ankie Spitzer, widow of fencing coach and Munich victim Andre , declined several offers to meet with Abu Daoud, saying that the only place she wants to meet him is in a courtroom.
According to Spitzer, "He [Abu Daoud] didn't pay the price for what he did. He was quoted as saying: "I regret nothing. You can only dream that I would apologize.
Daoud died of kidney failure aged 73 on 3 July in Damascus, Syria. Memorial panel for the victims of the attack on the site of the Munich Olympic Park.

Although arrested and imprisoned pending trial, they were released by the West German government on October 29, , in exchange for a hijacked Lufthansa jet.
Two of those three were supposedly hunted down and assassinated later by the Mossad. The Olympic events were suspended several hours after the initial attack, but once the incident was concluded, Avery Brundage , the International Olympic Committee president, declared that "the Games must go on".
A memorial ceremony was then held in the Olympic stadium, and the competitions resumed after a stoppage of 34 hours.
Security at Olympics was heightened further beginning with the Winter Olympics , as they were the first to take place after the September 11 attacks.
The massacre led the German federal government to re-examine its anti-terrorism policies, which at the time were dominated by a pacifist approach adopted after World War II.
It also led Israel to launch a campaign known as Operation Wrath of God , in which those suspected of involvement were systematically tracked down and assassinated.
