The 1972 Munich Olympics Massacre

In 1972, the Olympics returned to Germany for the first time since being hosted in Berlin in 1936.

The Games were intended to present a new image of West Germany, one that would reject the image portrayed at the previous Nazi-hosted Games and showcase a modern, peaceful nation.

That didn’t happen.

Instead, it became known for a terrorist attack on the Israeli Olympic team, which led to the death of eleven athletes and coaches, and one German police officer.
