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.

Its actually quite much talked about here idk where u got that from, atleast it was 4 years ago when i had it in school. 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.

[@seesternfaser]

​@belabohlen6156 seems like it heavily depends on the state or something. I graduated in 2021 in Lower Saxony and we never talked about it in school. All I know about it is what I've heard in recent media (about Beate Klette and so on), from asking my parents or researching it myself. We've had WW2 history twice in school but have not once talked about this unfortunately. I wasn't even aware of the impact that came afterwards even though I'm generally quite interested in history

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.

Border Protection Group).

Hi! I’m actually Swiss, and I just fucked up on that particular line - I know that it’s Grenzschutzgruppe, but for some reason I didn’t catch I had said it incorrectly in my recording.

@@terdragontra8900 that is true.

@@Merluch you seem to have an issue with the medium itself, here. people have limited time and patience to sit through an exhaustive report of the facts of every notable event on earth, and the fact is presenting it as a story makes it stick better in the human mind, no matter how badly you’d wish humans to be more objective and data driven. and, well, there was no bias that screamed as “obvious” to me, no venom in his voice when describing things most in the audience would find egregious, for instance.

[@Narry121]

What a great video! I’m a German myself and your nuanced work inspired me to add two minor things and additionally share two personal perspectives from the “German Autumn”. First the two points I would like to add content wise. The mission to free the hostages in Mogadishu was the first ever of the GSG-9 (Border Protection Group 9). Which itself was the first ever official elite police tactical unit of the German federal police. It got funded after the devastatingly failed mission by local German police to free 9 Israeli hostages during the 1972 Summer Olympic Games in Munich, which resulted in the death of all hostages and a German policeman. That the mission in Mogadishu was a first for the GSG-9 must have added substantially to the tension in the decision making body of the German Government. The overwhelming success of this mission on the other hand and the secrecy surrounding the unit, establish a nearly mythic reputation of GSG-9 and helped the German public to regain some trust in the stability of the young state. Secondly I would like to add that the person you are quoting at 26:35, Jan Philipp Reemtsma, was not only a political writer. He knew firsthand what he was writing about as he was kidnapped for 33 days in 1997 and was released after his family paid a ransom of 30 million DM (at the time around 20 million dollars). However, I’m not sure if he wrote the used quote before or after his kidnapping. Now the two short anecdotes concerning the “German Autumn” which both illustrate the tension at the time and are coming from two different ends of the spectrum. I once met a woman who was the daughter of a German CEO (banking if I recall correctly) and she told me how it was growing up at that time. Her father was a public figure due to his job, but really not that well known and also not very important over all. That didn’t mean however, that there wasn’t concern for the security of him and his family. That resulted in bullet proof windows in the direction of the street in the family home as well as a state of the art alarm system. She (the daughter) was not allowed to walk alone to school and was not allowed to visit the home of new (and some older) friends. On school trips the bus was followed by a car with two undercover police officers and her dad had his own security detail that protected him during the day and sometimes as well at night. Remember, he was just a mildly important business man. She told me how hard it was as a young girl to live in this fraught environment. In contrast to this perspective there is my father. At the time he lived with around 12 friends in a former historic farm / mill in the middle of nowhere. They were young, left (not at all radical) and tried to establish a farm and restaurant. With the start of the terror of the RAF every left leaning community grew suspicious. The fear was they could provide refuge for the terrorists or store weapons, cars, money etc. for them. As tensions grew and the results of the law enforcement in containing the violence was rather limited, even my dad and his friends caught the attention of the police. So one day their little building complex and every road, forest path and other access point was surrounded by police and they were held by heavily armed police while the house and the surroundings were searched. That happened two times and of course on both occasions the police didn’t find a thing because there was nothing. Each search took several hours and they weren’t allowed to leave the room in which they were holding or call anyone, not even a lawyer, as there was fear that they could call reinforcements, warn someone or whatever. A practice that was illegal. Similar things happened to thousands of people all over the country. In raids and in countless police checkpoints. I don’t judge anyone, the example just shows how deeply uncertain and taut the situation was for both, the police and the population. Both anecdotes show the tension in Germany at the time and the deep impact on the public (even though these cases aren’t spectacular because nothing really happened).

I have just been recommended this video and alongside it this channel, for the first time and I have to say that I am honestly amazed. I have been watching documentary style content on youtube for years, from Barely Sociable, Lemmino, disruptv and so on, down to more niche stuff, and I have to say that this channel, despite of its comparably small size, is more than on par with the more established channels that get 10 or 100 times the exposure. The visuals are amazing, from what it looks like the selection of topics covered on the channel is completely unique, but what takes the cake for me is the narration. As a german, I am sort of used to hearing any kind of international content butcher the fuck out of german cities, names and phrases, but I was surprised to learn that the opposite is the case here. At the same time, a flawless and almost accent free english voiceover, as well as nailing the german words in between, makes for an amazing experience watching the whole thing and shows that the creator(s) of the video went the extra mile for something only few would even notice.

This is high quality content. Very informative and entertaining while having a cool animation style.

[@theone4821]

The new lemmino has arrived! We really hope you continue with your work. Great job!

[@vulpes7079]

Lemmino is still out there...

[@exanimo8554]

Super arbeit man! Visuell und fachlich bemerkenswert inspiriert! Kanns kaum erwarten was als nächstes kommt

[@t-zocker1998]

Insanely good Dokumentation! Came here from Hoog to stay!

[@vomKuckucksfelsen]

My Mom looked a bit like one of the terrorists back then. She couldn´t count all the police controls she had to endure

[@jetlag8722]

the research and comprehension of Lemmino combined with visuals of Neo, you are definitely up there. you have earned my subscription, sir.

[@YaAbuHamza]

I actually learned quite a lot about this topic in my school, but it‘s great hearing it all again chronologically and with more details. You did such a great job and I want to see more of your content!! Thank you for the video!

[@jwatch3825]

By far the best video I have seen in a very long time

[@lcgn]

Wow. That is incredible quality and as German citizen I would love to seen something comparable in German language for students. Of course there are sources, chapters in books etc. but never found such a quality video with such a great script, animation and facts. Go on mate and greetings from cologne!

[@brinkipinki]

These things don't exist for German schools, because the point of a school education is not to give students a huge load of facts for them to learn.

[@chgr4674]

Es gibt haufenweise deutsche Dokus über die Entführung der Landshut. Auch mit Interviews mit Überlebenden

[@Jojo-ep4je]

Some of the best content on KZbin. You deserve more attention. Hope your channel keeps growing.

[@tomm5663]

Another brilliant documentary. Is this the first time you’ve used your face in a video? You look great!

[@milanlilic6995]

i watched about half of the video fully expecting you to have like five million subscribers. the quality is crazy, keep up the good work

[@DruckerYTA]

One more video before I go to sleep! The Video:

[@abdihassan7208]

Elaborate and detailed video with striking animations and information! You deserve millions of followers considering that you also upload monthly!

[@mists_of_time]

This video deserves 1 million views. You did an amazing job.

[@gunake1680]

Your style of editing reminds a LOT of Lemmino, love the work. Work like this deserves millions of views.

[@uniquechannelnames]

I think he popularized the 3d layouts of scenes to give a better and easier to see perspective on events and honestly I love it.

[@sidneyadnopoz3427]

2:48 I'm smooth brained enough that my first thought was "Release members of the RAF? Why would the German government have Royal Air Force Personel, and why would the RED ARMY FACTION want to have them freed???" Lol

[@Artemie-np3qu]

I did the exact same lol

[@slundqsale]

I reall appreciate the effort, research, and detail that you put into your videos. I uave learned so much from them and honestly, you are one of the most underrated KZbinrs.

[@NithinJune]

3:34 oh i suddenly stopped feeling bad for this dude… like at all 😅

[@unkreativ1337]

I cant get over how you have just 13k subs. Like just how? The animations, the storys everything is just SO good! Keep up the great work and i think youll have to make it to a million!

[@sinankoramaz1791]

Great video! Only thing is airbus don’t have 700 series aircrafts, probably it was an a300. Other than that absolutely amazing story telling, subscribed😊!

[@NavSci]

Lemmino vibes , defo subscribing , keep up the quality content

[@CartoonCentral10]

Loved the german pronunciation. You have to be German or maybe austrian or Swiss. But I would've never guessed by how good you speak english wow

[@sporgiii]

This is such high quality production, I love it

[@karmagator2312]

It's interesting that, as a German, I've not actually learned much, if anything, about this subject in school. To be fair, I've gone to school in a former Eastern German state, but still. It's also not a topic I've heard much about in society either. So thanks for this highly educational video ^^. Btw, I really enjoy your pronunciation of German, it is excellent :)

[@IMPERIALYT]

Thank you! I am Swiss, but I mostly speak in Hochdeutsch, but sometimes I can make an error or two - glad you liked it though!

[@fxshlein]

I'm from west Germany, and we also only toched on this once when we watched a documentary about it with a substitute teacher. I have to say tho, this video was half as long and much better made and informative than that documentary.

[@verySharkey]

As the comment above me I'm from western Germany and have never heard anything about this in school whatsoever.

[@foximacentauri7891]

I made History Abitur in a west German state, and we also just sweeped above the topic in like a week, after the finals were written and nobody really cared anymore. It’s just not very present on the educational plan.

[@hoppspross2837]

im from bavaria and i remember watching a similar video about this case, this one hereis no doubt better

[@rokentom3926]

The production quality is other worldly. You are setting the foundations in your early work of tremendous future success.

[@hikarikaguraenjoyer9918]

14:10 There is no such thing as a “Airbus 707, i assume you either were referring to a Boeing 707 or Airbus A300

[@IMPERIALYT]

Yep, meant to say Boeing 707 - will make a correction in the script on Dropbox.

[@eddiel161]

Please never stop what you are doing, your incomparable quality and passion will pay off 👍

[@Aeronauticable]

Correction: Not clear if you saw it or not but at 14:10 you say Airbus 707, not Boeing 707. Any 7X7 series aircraft are Boeings. Great video anyways!

[@iwantsomefries7608]

We’re lucky to have such high quality content for free. It’s a crime that this guy doesn’t have move recognition.

[@pikkle]

masterpiece of a video

[@brandoncase1477]

this reminded me of LeMMiNO and it's fantastic. keep up the good work man

[@Lenception]

[@KleinOfficial]

Incredible quality, both in storytelling and visuals. You'll go far mein Freund, ich bin sicher.

[@tempo5366]

Wischnewski, Wegener and the policemen of the GSG9 are absolute legends. They analysed the disaster of Munich, trained for this scenario and did the impossible that night.

[@Randoman9987]

As an outsider this was complicated and difficult to follow at times - but very interesting and well worth the time spent watching. I think you will be very successful - please make more content.
