Munich Massacre episode was a big lie

I was in total disbelief when I saw this episode. It made it seem as if the big mystery of how the victims died was finally solved when this guy from the US flew to Germany and was given access to classified information by the Germans.

NO. All the terrible mistakes that the German police had made during the event was well documented years before in the movie, One Day in September. In fact, in that film, many of the people who were involved in the rescue operation themselves shed light on all the things that had gone wrong.

For example, at one point Seconds from Disaster says that the US expert "discovered" that the police at the airport had voted to abort the mission seconds before the copters landed. Really? He discovered this when one of the police officers who had been part of the vote actually admitted this in the documentary? And another police official said in so many words, "Yeah, as soon as they did that, the whole operation was doomed"?

And then the episode made it seem as if it was a big mystery why the roof ambush was called off. It was explained in the movie that the ambush had been canceled because everyone figured out that the news crews had been broadcasting the police's every move to the terrorists.

I just don't understand why Seconds from Disaster resorted to this tactic of pretending as if there had been a "mystery" all along and that it took some guy from the US to solve it. Anyway, it kind of makes me doubt the series now. How many events presented as "mysteries" were ever actual mysteries or solved the way the show said it was?
