Dear Sir, Yes, GSG 9 is in the top 3. On the competition between other operators (GIGN, SWAT, etc..) they have won several times all the others. From early 2000 to 2014 they were almost unstoppable and won competition after competition. But for some reason they stopped participating those events, it might be due the tension that Russia caused while occupying Crimea (purely speculative).

In case you didn't know why the GSG9 was created In 1972, Palestinian terrorists infiltrated the Olympic Games in Munich and kidnapped Israeli athletes, killing two. The German police back then were neither trained nor equipped for counter-terrorism operations and underestimated the number of terrorists involved. They 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. The rescue failed, and the operation led to the deaths of one policeman, five of the eight kidnappers, and all nine of the remaining hostages. As a consequence of the mismanagement of the Olympic tragedy, the West German government created the GSG 9.

The airplane you see in the beginning and end is the original hijacked Lufthansa airplane with the name Landshut. It was taken back to Germany after rotting at least ten years in the djungle in Brazil. It should be in a museum right now. As the founder of GSG 9 passed away a few years ago, they showed another member of the founding team, which fought the terrorism of the 70ies to 80ies. The trigger was the failure of freeing the Israel hostages during the 1972 Olympic Games Munich, which was a big shame, that Jewish got killed again within Germany 27 years after WWII. Today, there is quite an exchange between Israel and German army and police as well. Best wishes from Berlin

The most impressive fact imo is that they are so well trained and capable with shock tactics and fast entries that they rarely killed a terrorist in this 50 years. They usually capture them alive.

I lived near the GSG9 Headquarter in a little village where on one hill some higher staff member of the GSG9 lived and his home was sometimes used for training. Nice when you hear two Helicopter flying - at night - extreme low through your backyard (the valley) and then some seconds later two groups jump out and storm the house on the hill. Happend maybe every second year. Sometimes you even didn't wake up and read it next day in the news, because they where so silent.
When GSG9 assaulted the Lufthansa flight there were two SAS operators present who supplied the stun grenades used in the assault. I think this was the first known use of the stun grenade which the SAS had been instrumental in devising.

GSG-9 pretty much goes by 'Time spent preparing is time not wasted on pondering what to do next'. Also, in case anyone is interested, in the ops center the co waited for conformation of their initial intel to check out and confirm the location of all suspects and hostages before giving the clear to engage. GSG-9 are pretty much urban commandos with really high tech toys and gadgets.

Where the GSG9 is called on terrorists, hostage situations and large scale crime like human trafficing, the ZUZ is called down on the big drug crime, aprehending the heads of large scale smuggling operations (drugs, weapons etc.).

The '70s were the paradise of Air pirates, with high jackings happening all the time. I remember one joke we used to say back then: On the flight from New York to Miami one passenger pulls out a gun an tells the pilots "Take this plane to Miami". The pilots tell him that the plane is going to Miami, but the passenger insists "Shut up and take the plane to Miami". When the plane lands in Miami, the police arrest the guy and ask him "Why did you do it? the plane was coming to Miami anyway". The passenger replies "That's what they told me the other three times, but I ended up in Cuba".
The aircraft continued to be operated by Lufthansa until 1985, after which it was in service in various countries until 2008. In 2017 it was bought back by Germany and brought to Friedrichshafen. The Boeing 737-200 "Landshut" will remain in Friedrichshafen and is to be converted into a learning location at a location that has yet to be determined. The aircraft is now dismantled in a hangar in Friedrichshafen.

Straight up, this video gives me goosebumps watching it...
The GSG9 was created in response to the attack on the Israeli team at the Munich Olympics. German police were unprepared/unequipped to stop the incident. So Germany adjusted (like they do) and created an anti-terrorist unit (GSG9 = federal police, think FBI SWAT). Their very first outing was the hijacking of flight LH181. With the help of two SAS officers, the unit carried out the most successful terrorist hostage rescue operations in history. They killed 3 hijackers , and wounded the last one. One GSG9 operative was wounded in the raid, as were three passengers and one crew. All of the operatives survived the raid, as did all crew (4 of 5; Captain Schumann had been executed hours earlier) and all passengers (86). They regularly compete and place in the top ranks of international special police unit contests.
Hell yeah, i knew you would react to that! Greetings from germany.
One aspect of the GSG9 this Video didn't really stress is the fact that due to the command structure and the constitutional laws regarding German military forces, all military action undertaken by Germany requires consent of the Parliament. Whilst the U.S. President can send the Delta Force or Navy Seals with one phone call pretty much, a similar response is not possible for the German military. The GSG9 on the other hand, being a special unit of the federal police, does not fall under the same limitations. So if there was a situation like an Embassy coming under siege after a Coup in some third-world country, the single phone call from our government would go to these guys, and they'd grab their gear and be on their way to the transport plane.

The really impressing thing about the GSG9 is that they're on the same level as military spec ops units like Navy Seals or SAS, but that they're a POLICE unit. They train to ARREST suspects if possible and only shoot them if unavoidable. So they hardly ever kill people during their missions...

They're not actually police, they belong to the custom's office, so on paper they're in charge of border protection, but in reality few people know what operations they're involved in. There's little reporting on them, they have no media presence and stay under the radar. Also they're rarely deployed to do police work like SWAT, that's what the SEK is for. GSG9 is more often used to fight terrorism. PS: SEK is the german police's special operations unit (in german: Sondereinsatzkommando), but they're far from being on par with the GSG9.

GSG9 and GIGN are probably the best anti-terrorist police units out there and I’d imagine after the ~2015-2017 years of what felt like non-stop terrorist attacks in France and Germany their budget definitely has not been downgraded. On a side note I was in Berlin late 2016 walked past the christmas market infront of KaDeWe mall and took the subway to the hotel and when I got in my room I checked the news and within that 20minutes a semi truck had driven into the crowd in the same christmas market. During that time it felt like shit like that happened every week in some part of Germany or France.
Über cool I agree with you…the quality of the filming is getting close to that of the Royal Marines. Great for recruiting.
The GSG 9 was founded after the catastrophic attempt to free the hostages of the Olympic Games in 1972. In this attempt all hostages have been killed. The liberation of the hostages of the LANDSHUT Lufthansa plane in Mogadischu Somalia in 1977 made them famous over night.

Compared to the US special forces in the police, there is also on thing that gets a bit overlooked in these videos. It´s how damn stealthy they are. In many cases the people getting aprehended by the GSG9 and other special police units from Germany don´t even know its going to happen till they basically are next to them and putting on cuffs. One example is how they often go in. If they can they dont blow or bash the doors open. They either drill or pick the lock silently after getting an overview of the inside and where the targets are. If they can they basically sneak up to them. Or the loud and obvious entrance covers the entrance of the actual squad tasked with aprehending them as a distraction. And it goes fast.

For anyone who this might still interest: according to Wikipedia, the helicopter they use is an AS 332 "Super Puma" (military designation: "Cougar"). When it comes to intended role and size, this thing is basically the Airbus equivalent to the Russian Mi-8. In its original standard version, it can take up to 24 passengers. I can't tell tho what configuration or version they use, so take this number more as a minimum capacity. Interestingly, the helicopter is also used to transport convicts or suspects who are deemed as too dangerous to be transported via car. Mostly people who are suspected of being involved with terroristic activities or other serious crimes. Most recently, this was the case with a suspected member of a leftist group, who got flown in by that helicopter to her trial at the famous Stuttgart-Stammheim court. A detachment of the GSG 9 secured the transport.
The Landshut is currently in Friedrichshafen near the Lake of Constance

They are a myth. Respected, feared and beloved amongst all our people. No german dosent know of our Grenzschutzgruppe 9(GSG9)
The narrator also voices lots of actors, documentaries and what not. He also was the german voice for Optimus Prime in the Transformer Movies.
GSG9 had some well known operations during the time of RAF (red army fraction) as well. Some of which didn't go too well.
Funny enough, the headquarters of the GSG9 are pretty close to where I live and my head of office is married to one GSG9 operator. Pretty cool persons, as they also did a special training at the building I'm working in.
And this is only the Police! Imagine Special Military Forces in Germany ;)
5:29 well since our Bundeswehr isnt allowed to act offensively outside of some specific NATO regulations and also isnt allowed to work inside outside of natural catastrophes GSG9 is kinda doing that job, Somalian Pirates back then for example were a job for GSG9 and with the shit happening in Israel if Hamas takes german hostages they might have to go to work too
👀 he's behind you!
Have to check out the new Counter Piracy and Pilot Rescue by the Royal marines
I personally had the pleasure to meet them twice for training.i was part of the team supporting them while they trained to clear a hijacked aircraft. It was so impressive to see how the acted,and how stealthy the snipers are.Haven't seen them for hours 20m away from me 😅😅. Then i had a colleague years later who was part of the gsg9,he was and is a really nice guy.i'm as a german are really proud of our special units like GSG9 ( Police)or KSK (Military)
7:51 they wear that cause after they leave the active duty as active operators(because the became too old) the gsg9 try’s to keep them in Inspection11 /the GsG9 instead of having them them to move on to the “regular duty officers/agents”. That’s also why they sit at the operation control center and why they wear masks… their identity is still confidential….
Living maybe 8mls away from their main base near Bonn, I can reality often see them training in our Area.
Hell yeah thats the voice of German Willem Dafoe and Optimus Prime XDD
So uh are we gonna talk about the intro?
i love the fact that the narrator is the german voice of optimus prime, this is great
They sadly didn't mention why the unit was formed: There were no special forces trained for terrorism during the palestine attack at the Olympics 1972 in Munich, and as result GSG9 was founded (and the PSG-1 was developed, btw). They are basically the equivalent to the military KSK, able to legally operate within Germany. And while one of the jobs of the KSK is "hostage rescueing" it's exclusivley done by the GSG9. (You know you effed up if the KSK and not the GSG9 shows up)
Worth checking, Counter Piracy and Pilot Rescue | Royal Marines channel
Fun fact: The narrator is the German voice actor for Optimus Prime, and the way he talks in this video really reminds me of Optimus speech at the end of the first movie :D He also voiced Darth Vader in Star wars 3^^
GSG9 has easily the best Drip all around the World for police units. Tactical Jeans and Sneakers all the way boys
Damn, When's this movie coming out? Because I'm pretty sure I just watched a movie trailer. Bad-ass 🤙
You need to react to the new Royal Marines commando video

What made the creation of the 9th border guard, that is the legendary GSG9. Same events made us Finns to establish the 'Karhu' unit.
This is the pre form of Cyberpunks MaxTec
Have you seen the British CTSFO?
Once upon a time they should free some people in Somali and lend the American aircraft carrier boxer for this operation. But ksk was angry about this and somebody in the ministry of defence leaked an internal memo to the Americans which questioned their skill. So the mission was aborted last moment after 1 month of training
4:55 A simple logo get's flashed: Oh nice, that was pretty cool!" Damn, you're a disgrace...
