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.

because this event also showed countries around the world the importance of having a national counter terrorism unit, more units we know today were created such as the French GIGN and the South Korean 707 Special Mission Group

The airplane you see in the beginning and end is the original hijacked Lufthansa airplane with the name Landshut.

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 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.

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.

[@christophjannek5398]

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.

[@JS-mb7yo]

Military actions need the consent of the german parliament. But the consent can be taken subsequent. So also the KSK can be send by „one phone call“. Especially for your mentioned embassy siege because the GSG9 is not capable for missions in hostile environmemt like within a coup

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.

Short correction at min 3:30 brother... since I am from Germany and always was fascinated by this special unit. The approach at the beginning of the clip is to show where it all began. The 'official' birth of the GSG9 with their first international operation of the captured Lufthansa airplane called 'Landshut' which is shown. The masks are not to show off, that the officers in the operations room are ready for combat, but. Since the GSG9 is THE anti-terror unit in Germany they act very anonymous. I guess the old dude was the chief of the unit at that time. #hero Great video showing the professionalism of this elite german unit.

[@MrMtotheB]

[@sebastianneeser9927]

Min 3:11 on the right: Brigadegeneral Wegener, the founder of GSG 9. Sadly he passed. Greetings from 🇩🇪

The October intros are becoming a tradition, you can't stop now!

[@pleeeo]

you definitely dont want to mess with them :S

[@HafdirTasare]

08:00 everybody's identity is protected, except Jérôme Fuchs of course, head of the GSG9, everybody knows who he is anyway :D

[@ft6637]

The last time I saw them (or maybe the SEK) in the news, was after a shooting in munich. The police officer on the news was just wearing casual short summer pants and private tshirt, but then had a mask, a G36 and a high vis with police on it 😂😂

[@ft6637]

to me thaz looked even more bad ass, considering there was a shooter somewhere in the city 🙈😅

[@ft6637]

It looked like he couldn't finish his family bbq at home 😅

[@cookiezx3478]

Hell yeah thats the voice of German Willem Dafoe and Optimus Prime XDD

[@TOWERKNIGHTS]

The Landshut is currently in Friedrichshafen near the Lake of Constance

[@ft6637]

GSG9 had some well known operations during the time of RAF (red army fraction) as well. Some of which didn't go too well.

[@lucientruth]

...as far as i know - is the GSG9 the row model of all modern special forces...

[@MegaHorrorLP]

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.

[@tramachi7027]

GSG9 has easily the best Drip all around the World for police units. Tactical Jeans and Sneakers all the way boys

[@erdbeerkeks8263]

i love the fact that the narrator is the german voice of optimus prime, this is great

[@sebby324]

Have you seen the British CTSFO?

[@robertsuck8581]

First: Sorry for my bad english :-) To declare: After the assassination attempt against Isrealis at the 1974 Olympic Games in Munich / Germany, it was determined that the Federal Republic of Germany was unable to protect itself against such attacks and terror. The GSG9 would then be founded. The GSG9 had its baptism of fire when the “Landshut” plane was hijacked by Palestinians in Mogadishu. The GSG9 managed to end the hijacking and free all German hostages. In that Movie you can see that original Airplane from Lufthansa - Flight "Landshut". The SG9 is an non military unit - they are a special unit from the Federal Police of Germany.

[@TheMeanmarine13]

Damn, When's this movie coming out? Because I'm pretty sure I just watched a movie trailer. Bad-ass 🤙

[@danielkullick872]

And this is only the Police! Imagine Special Military Forces in Germany ;)

[@srccde]

2:51 I'm not sure why it was translated that way. The narrator said literally "The hope to protect *people* from danger", not just "citizens".

[@Bloodbound89]

it is a sign of success how he looks at his own photo in that hangar

[@fritzkaraldo8452]

The narrator also voices lots of actors, documentaries and what not. He also was the german voice for Optimus Prime in the Transformer Movies.

[@lucientruth]

the GSG9 was build up in the aftermath of the 1972 the attack on the israely olympic team. And the first mission was liberation of the "landshut" flight LH 181 in mogadishu👍

[@mwubi]

fav voice actor.

[@BabylonPatrol]

the end was a very sweet bit of humility: We are (just) the (federal) Police.

[@martinl3613]

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)

[@sebastianschmidt4467]

They are a myth. Respected, feared and beloved amongst all our people. No german dosent know of our Grenzschutzgruppe 9(GSG9)
