GSG 9 der Bundespolizei, formerly Grenzschutzgruppe 9 , is the police tactical unit of the German Federal Police . The state police maintain their own tactical units known as the Spezialeinsatzkommando . The identities of GSG 9 members are classified.
On 5 September 1972, the Palestinian terrorist movement Black September infiltrated the Summer Olympic Games in Munich, West Germany, to kidnap 11 Israeli athletes, killing two in the Olympic Village in the initial assault on the athletes' rooms. The incident culminated when German police – who were neither trained nor equipped for counter-terrorism operations, and had underestimated the number of terrorists involved – attempted to rescue the athletes. Police did not have a specialized tactical sniper team at that time. The army had snipers, but the German Constitution did not allow the use of German Armed Forces on German soil during peacetime.
