I hadn't seen these before. Munich saw that tragic hostages situation.

Very striking stamps. If only I had the sailing stamp in my collection instead of the lone Munich archery stamp I could have shoehorned it into my post this week.

Wow, I love the graphic design of these stamps. I wonder if they were well-received at the time?
