The Red Army Faction Origins and Threat

This episode dives into the rise of modern counterterrorism in Germany, tracing how the failures of Munich ’72 led to the creation of GSG-9. Our guest, Martin Herzog, breaks down the Lufthansa hijacking, the Mogadishu raid, and the evolution of state response to terrorism. A sharp, detailed look at one of the most defining counterterror operations in European history.
