John Dillinger is the most famous bank robber in history and was chased for a year by almost all law enforcement agencies in the United States. During this time he managed to rob about two dozen banks for a sum of 500 thousand dollars.

During his lifetime, he was called a gentleman bandit and a modern-day Robin Hood. And his death was the starting point after which Hoover and the FBI really gained power. About a dozen movies have been made about him and even more books have been written. Pieces of his tombstone have been taken several times by fans from all over the world, and everyone who knew him made money for the rest of their lives just from stories about Dillinger.

But is his story so unequivocal? Was this man really the “American Robin Hood,” and why did one single year of his life give him fame that lives on to this day? We will tell you about this and much more in our video today.

And if you're interested in the real story of America’s top enemy and go beyond the now trite framework of his conflict with Hoover, then meet John Dillinger, on the other side of the law.
