The Longest Hijacking in History

Ойын-сауық

Note: guys I know the 707 isn't an airbus cut me some slack
A 120~ hour hijacking, a kidnapping and 6 months of terror; the German Autumn was one of the most extensive post-war periods of terrorism on the European continent. This video covers the events of this period, from April to October of 1977, and how Germany grappled with terror and chaos.
This video was quite difficult to research; there's a tonne of conflicting information and I wasn't able to confirm much of it through official reports until late in the script writing process, as some of the documentation I had ordered arrive late. Even then, the "Security Report" produced by the West German government was actually quite limited, so I had to infer some of the points in the video. If you'd like to see the notes/corrections I have made on the Script, please check the Dropbox link below.

    The coverage of the hijack itself was great, but what I _really_ liked was you describing the societal impact of this hijack and the RAF in general, and putting it into the German historical context. I think this period is almost forgotten amongst those who didn’t experience it first hand, particularly _because_ nobody wanted to talk about it. Even in german history class it’s barely talked about, and only as a part of the east-/west german conflict. It’s a shame because it is such an interesting period in history of which we can learn so much.

Literally almost every german i know could probably tell you close to the full story of the RAF. In fact, in my eyes the impact on society is the only thing this video didnt mention enough, tho since thats too complicated for most i guess its probably easier to understand like this.

I’ll be supporting your content for as long as you bless us with it! Just wanted to mention an important point about GSG9. The operation in 1977 was their first true operation, as they were created in response to the 1972 Munich massacre at the olympic games, where the local policemen weren’t capable of dealing efficiently with terrorism, leading to more casualties. The state was improving their police and military presence, which was part of the public fear of a remilitarized state.

    Came here from a Kraut post, gotta say I did not expect the quality of this video. It is a staple that even smaller channels can boast unparalleled quality that punches far above their weight compared to bigger channels. It is also a curious one about an incident that is probably not very known outside of Germany. In school it is also not very covered but something youd always hear about like the Gladbeck Kidnapping but were never really taught about it. My mother was probably more enlightening about the time when she was a university student at the time and we talked a lot about it. Especially that poster is a reminder of the times and how uneasy it felt on top of the Cold War, having a huge threat internationally and a lot of internal turmoil.

Great work and can’t wait for more content, this one is definitely a banger.
