On September 26th 1980. Gundolf Kohler, a geology student and Neo-Nazi, killed 12 people at a Oktoberfest festival in Munich.

Kohler was instantly killed in the attack after his IED went off prematurely. Kohler was once affiliated with a banned Neo-Nazi milita called, "Wehrsportgruppe Hoffmann"

Kohler wanted to influence the 1980 federal election by posing this attack as a false flag to blame on Left Wing organizations and parties.

The scene was cleaned up fast, Then the festival resumed less than 12 hours after the bombing.

The Mayor of Munich at the time, Erich Kiesl, said,

"Neither this State, nor this city or its citizens will be held to ransom by criminals. A closure would only support the condemnable intention of the perpetrator. For this reason we must say, "life must go on."

To this day, several people (including witnesses) believe Kohler had a accomplice(s). The case was investigated twice. Once from 1980-1982 and a second time from 2014-2020.

In 1982, the Federal Public Prosecutor General concluded that Kohler was the Sole Perpetrator motivated by "Personal Frustrations."
