Page "Munich massacre" Paragraph 38

As mentioned earlier, the five German snipers at Fürstenfeldbruck did not have radio contact with one another ( nor with the German authorities conducting the rescue operation ) and therefore were unable to coordinate their fire.

The only contact the snipers had with the operational leadership was with Georg Wolf, who was lying next to the three snipers on the control tower giving orders directly to them.

The two snipers at ground level had been given vague instructions to shoot when the other snipers began shooting, and were basically left to fend for themselves.
