It took Germany many years to realize the need for a special anti-terror unit, but since it's establishment, the unit called "GSG-9" has an impressive record of over 2200 operations. The unit was established as one of the lessons learned from the security failures that led to the massacre of the 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics.
It is now 50 years of the establishment of the GSG-9 unit, Germany's "General Staff Patrol".
This unit specializing in the war on terrorism and special operations of the German police was established as one of the lessons learned from the security failures that led to the massacre of the 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics.
