Smoke billowed on a Gaza road in June 1967 as Kurt Strumpf photographed an Israeli soldier giving first aid to a journalist. The photographer was then treated for his own injuries.

Strumpf had always managed to complete his assignments. And he fully intended to complete his present task—documenting the Munich hostage crisis as vividly and accurately as he could.

The youngest photographer on the scene that morning was 18-year-old Bill Temko. *“My friend the track coach gave me a USA track suit,” he later remembered. “And he said ‘I think this will work, you can sort of fake your way into the Olympic Village’ and for the first week of the Olympics that’s precisely what I did.” Then, in the hectic morning of September 5, Temko suddenly caught the break of his life. He later said that “all of the ABC sports people were congregated and saying ‘How are we gonna do this? We can’t even get into the Olympic Village.’ And I sheepishly raised my hand and said ‘I think I can get us into the Olympic Village.’”
