The Aftermath of Munich, West Germany Olympic Games Essay

During the 1972 Olympics games in Munich, West Germany, the German officials wanted to set a different tone to the previous game where Hitler was in power, so West Germany came to the decision to limit the officers to make the image of Germany peaceful. Of course this would have lethal consequences because although Germany may have been peaceful at the time the world specifically Palestine was anything, but peaceful. A terrorist group Black September took 11 Israeli Olympic athletes hostages and in 24 all of the hostages were dead.

Of course that was one of the biggest criticism about Steven Spielberg Film Munich, which depicted the operation about revenge, but in the documentary the agents point out it was about â€Å"Prevention and not revenge† (OBrien). And by having different views not just agents the viewer is able to depict their own point of view, but there is still anShow MoreRelated1972 Munich Olympics Essay1578 Words   |  7 Pagesinvest time and work into their reports, or do they release reports teeming with bias and unproven facts solely for money and satisfact ory ratings?
