Operation 9/11: Angriff auf den Globus is a book by German author and filmmaker Gerhard Wisnewski, originally published in 2003. The book is widely recognized as one of the foundational German-language texts of the 9/11 truth movement, promoting alternative theories regarding the September 11 terrorist attacks. [1, 2]

About the Book

In Operation 9/11, Wisnewski challenges the official consensus that the attacks were orchestrated solely by Osama bin Laden and nineteen hijackers. He argues instead that the events of September 11, 2001, involved internal orchestration or complicity by intelligence agencies and government factions. The book heavily analyzes specific anomalies alleged by conspiracy theorists, such as the collapse of World Trade Center Building 7 and the nature of the damage at the Pentagon. [1, 2]
Initial Publication: August 1, 2003, by Droemer Knaur. [1]
Impact: It became a bestseller in Germany and was translated into multiple languages, finding a highly receptive audience amidst the heightened European anti-war sentiment during the 2003 invasion of Iraq. [1, 2, 3]
Media Tie-in: Coinciding with the book’s release, Wisnewski co-directed a documentary for the German public broadcaster WDR titled Aktenzeichen 11. September ungelöst (“Case File Sept 11 Unsolved”), which was one of the earliest critical 9/11 broadcasts on mainstream European television. [1, 2]

About Gerhard Wisnewski

Born in 1959, Wisnewski began his career as a freelance journalist and documentary filmmaker for prominent German public broadcasters (including ARD, ZDF, and WDR). He initially gained notoriety in 1992 after co-authoring Das RAF-Phantom, a book alleging that late-stage actions attributed to the far-left militant group Red Army Faction (RAF) were actually state-sponsored operations. [1, 2]
Over the years, Wisnewski transitioned fully into a conspiracy theorist and alternative media figure. He has written books questioning the Apollo moon landings (One Small Step?) and the operations of the Bilderberg Group. He also publishes a long-running annual book series titled verheimlicht – vertuscht – vergessen (“Hidden – Covered Up – Forgotten”), which evaluates current events through a conspiratorial framework. In recent years, his work has aligned closely with right-wing populist media outlets in Germany. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
