Draggingtree Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Munich Olympics Massacre. September 5, 1972 By: streiff (Diary) | September 5th, 2015 at 10:00 AM Around 4:30 am on September 5, 1972, a group of Canadian athletes returning from an illicit night out in Munich was scaling the chain link fence around the Olympic dormitory compound. The were joined by 8 other men. Once inside the Canadians went on their way, none the wiser to the fact that their companions had been a commando squad of Palestinian terrorists. The terrorist made their way to the quarters of the Israeli Olympic team. Yossef Gutfreund, a wrestling referee, woke up when he heard something scratching at dorm door. He opened the door, saw the gunmen, then he shouted a warning to the other members of the Israeli team while he blocked the door. He couldn’t hold them back long but he did buy some time. The weightlifting coach, Tuvia Sokolovsky, smashed a window and escaped. http://www.redstate.com/2015/09/05/munich-olympics-massacre-september-5-1972/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
