For Germany, the Munich massacre at the 1972 Summer Olympics was a turning point. A few days later, the federal anti-terror squadron GSG 9 was formed. Since 1974 the German states established their own special commands (SEK). The most famous operation of GSG 9 was the storming of the hijacked Lufthansa aircraft "Landshut" at Mogadishu airport (Somalia) in 1977, freeing all 86 passengers. (The crew's captain had been executed by the terrorists before.)[1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lufthansa_Flight_181 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lufthansa_Flight_181
