Lieutenant Colonel (Lt. Col.) Meyers, a retired German Luftwaffe pilot, led the private tour of the historic Fürstenfeldbruck Air Base, where tragedies unfolded. The tragic events of the 1972 Munich Olympics terrorist attack serve as the site of the ill-fated rescue operation that claimed the lives of eleven Israeli athletes and one German police officer. The tour provided military personnel with a deep historical insight into the events that unfolded over five decades ago, offering a rare opportunity to stand on the ground where history was made.
