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.
Learn about the 1972 Olympics and the Munich Massacre on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
