Part 1 of 3 - The Death of John Dillinger

During the 1930s Depression, many Americans made heroes of outlaws
who took what they wanted at gunpoint. One man, John Dillinger,
came to evoke this Gangster Era and stirred mass emotion to a
degree rarely seen in this country. He operated with a group of men
known as the "Dillinger Gang", which was accused of robbing 24
banks and four police stations, among other activities including
many escapes from jail. Dillinger was killed by federal agents
outside the Biograph Theater on the night of July 22, 1934. Many
people believe it wasn't actually him that was killed. Did
Dillinger pull off one last great escape? Learn more about your ad
