Listening to the wireless in the car this afternoon..... The 1972 Olympics, you know the one in Munich, just ten or twenty years ago.....?
Fifty years have passed..... That was the year I came to Germany for the first time and a different Germany it was. Backed by German NeoNazis the Palestinians had captured nine members of the Israeli Team after killing two of them. Things came to a head in Fürstenfeldbruck when the German anti Terror GSG9 botched an attempt to rescue the Israelis who then died in the ensuring shoot out.
