Captain Schumann's Murder and Stakes Rise

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.
