Episode 73 | GLADBECK | THE MOST UNFORGETTABLE HOSTAGE CRISIS IN HISTORY

Send us a text

In this podcast we're going to take a deep dive into a most bizarre and frankly hard-to-believe hostage crisis and murder that took place in West Germany back in 1988. Two 'ordinary' drug-fueled bank robbers hastily took hostages when their ill-planned bank heist went sour. For the next 50+ hours they stayed awake on coffee and drugs hijacking a bus and eventually escaping in a getaway car provided by the police. But what makes this case most extraordinary is the media circus that developed as journalists and bystanders jockeyed for position to interview and photograph the hostage-takers as they loitered around unengaged by police and while waving their weapons around nonchalantly. Listen on for a most unforgettable story. ★Enjoy!
