Depression Era Gangsters | John Dillinger | 9 - Battle at Little Bohemia

Episode 9 of the Story of John Dillinger, the Depression Era Gangster. The Federal Agents of the Bureau of Investigation had joined the hunt for John Dillinger, the outlaw who had escaped from jail twice and evaded police traps and raids so often that it was becoming ridiculous. The public cheered him on, but the heat on John and his fellow gang members, John "Red" Hamilton, George "Baby Face" Nelson, Homer van Meter, and Thomas "Tommy" Carroll was getting too great. Johnnie had just shot himself out of his Apartment in St Paul, Minnesota, the gang's jug maker Eddie Green was killed in a Federal ambush, and the Feds had arrested Dillinger's girlfriend Billie Frechette. The Gang decided to go to ground somewhere quiet and out of the way. Underworld Tavern Owner Louis Cernocky suggested they go to the Little Bohemia Lodge in Northern Wisconsin. --- SOURCES AND INFO --- Website and social media links: ⁠⁠https://defraggedhistory.com/⁠⁠ Sources: ⁠⁠https://defraggedhistory.com/john-dillinger/dillinger-bibliography/⁠⁠   --- MUSIC --- All music is licensed through Epidemic Sound.
