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.
I can never get enough Dillinger... There is something about 30 eras bank robbers that is so fascinating.
funny how you Americans are infatuated with criminals, gangsters, and mobsters...
This was a the best documentary about John Dillinger I have ever seen. RIP John Jr.
I just kept thinking, why stay in the same states where he was known. Other states have banks... Very well done and thorough documentary!!!
This is by far the best documentary on JD I have ever seen
My Grandma was there the night he was killed at the Biograph theater. She told me people dipping their handkerchiefs In his blood. She watched the same movie, His last movie
What AWFUL people!
Except that was a paid lookalike. John flabbergunny was his name. He was dying of blootgut and the govment made a deal with him to pay his family 130,000$ dillingers still alive.
I love how well you've so intricately incorporated news reels and gangster film footage during the narration.

He robbed a bank in my town i grew up in, they converted it into a restaurant and they kept the safe.
Would this place be in Indiana?
Excellent documentary!
Very In depth analysis. I didn’t realize he had escaped so many times. But before metal detectors I’m sure it was a lot easier to accomplish these tasks and the lack of assets law enforcement had
The Dillinger family name is pronounced with a 'slient 'g'. Uncle John had a very good childhood with a loving family. How do you know that he was involved with an Indianapolis young lady who would become pregnant? I like the films running in the background of Uncle John, Bonnie and Clyde, etc. Audrey never saw a movie that correctly told the story of her brother. He loved his family and he was loved by his family. The TRUE life story of Uncle may never be told as all everyone wants to cover are the times in his life when he made bad choices. He was a beloved uncle to Mary, who thought of him more like an older brother than an uncle as they grew up together. Mary made many visits to Pendleton to see Uncle John but only made one visit to see him in Michigan City because of the number of gates she had to go through to see Uncle John. Also, Mary wrote numerous letters while he was incarcerated and Uncle John always enjoyed those letters. It's unfortunate that neither the John Dillinger Museum in Michigan Ciry or Crown Point displayed the letters that were always on display at the original John Dillinger Museum in Nashville, Indiana. Mary would take us there and go through her life growing up with Uncle John. Also, she made sure that we never paid as a lot of the items came from Audrey. So, they gave us a 'Family Pass', which mad Mary happy. Uncle John wasn't involved with the shooting and beating up of Sheriff Sarber. Uncle John liked the Sarber family as they took very good care of him while in jail. Please refrain from convicting Uncle John for the tragic death of Office O'Malley as he was never convicted of this crime. As you mentioned, there are witnesses that saw Uncle John in Florida when the East Chicago robbery took place. Of course, there are witnesses that say that they saw Uncle John during the East Chicago robbery. Then again, there were many times when Uncle John was 'seen' in two places at the same time. Some of the banks, during this time, were wanting Uncle John to rob them so they could cover up some of the bad things that were going on in banks during this time. The so called 'family reunion' was really a usual family dinner at the farm. Sadly, it was the last time that the family saw Uncle John alive. When Uncle John decided that things were getting too hot with the cars driving by the house, he, Billie, Mary (niece) and Alberta (niece) all left in his car. Billie was driving while Uncle John was on the floor neat Alberta, who was in the back seat. Mary was holding Uncle John's Tommy Gun riding 'shotgun' with Billie as Billie went down the back roads from the back of the farm. I am always amazed whenever I hear how Uncle John would go to baseball games, talk with police officers, etc. while he's the most wanted man in America. Uncle John was not armed when he was executed in the alley outside of the Biograph Theatre. The fatal shot was the one through the back of his head at point blank range. The agents took just about everything off of Uncle John's dead body. A tie tack that Audrey had given him was later seen in pictures being worn by some in the FBI. Uncle John was never without hundreds of dollars on him as was seen by Audrey and Mary whenever Uncle John would stop by and see them in what would be the place of his funeral at Audrey's home in Maywood. The clothes that Uncle John was wearing when he was assassinated were in Audrey's possession until she loaned them for display in the John Dillinger Museum in Nashville, Indiana, owned by long time family friend, Joe Pinkston.
For some reason they never mention in documentary about John Dillinger was some people had identified John "Red" Hamilton as the man who shot Officer O'Malley I believe was his name, not John Dillinger who got the blame for it. I'm guessing Hoover had something to do with John Dillinger getting blamed for that so he would have a murder charge on him on top of the bank robberies.
Cool story bro 😎
He ain’t your uncle. You Fing BSer. Get a real life
You are very knowledgeable about John Dillinger. Start a CZcams channel about it
Just saw this today (02-20-24) I find the 30's fascinating. I found it interesting that you mention how they concealed there Tommy guns for the bank job, well after seeing the movie PUBLIC ENEMIES and how they concealed them in the movie 1:06:51 made me want to concealed mine in the same way. I have the deluxe model 1927A1 with the butt stock that is removalable, so I made a adapter that replaced with my shoulder stock and had Ruffalo international made me a shoulder harness so I could swing my Tommy gun under my arm. I'm from South Bend, In and the bank looks nothing like it did in the 30's but a movie theater on Michigan St down the street from the bank still has bullet wounds from the shoot out. Excellent video thank you for showing us the video
Cool... that weapons platform is sexy as hell... thx for sharing.... watch out for libtards... they'll narc you off...
We need one on Pretty boy Floyd
Very detailed and dramatics beautiful
I really like your voice. You compliment everything with your easy, natural cadence. It's soooooooooooooo relaxing! I didn't miss a beat in the storyline, stayed interested, and found myself anticipating how you'd unwrap the coming portion and where you'd take your story next.
You are, Sir, in League with the very select and extremely rare Brand of Creators here there is a lingering dissatisfaction when a video is over.
I'm happy to have met you.
I've subbed
Haha. That's a fake voice.
@@Archie583 Haha...I don't care.
JUST STARTED AND ALREADY IMPRESSED WITH THE OLD RARE PICTURES AND INFO ABOUT HIM GETTING A GIRL PREGNANT AND JOINING THE NAVY I DONT THINK IVE HEARD OF IN MOST DOCUMENTARIES ABOUT HIM
I can't watch these documentaries without starting to talk like a gangster from the 30s and 40s. “Mah, see! This is a stickup, see?!” 😂
Think you’re funny eh? Come outside see! Hahaha best comment on this thread bro.
My hats off to the ppl who made the film possible...Outstanding
My great grandfather ran moonshine for John dillinger
, he was a black man from muncie indiana, about an hour east from Indianapolis
Really enjoyed this. Although the term in the Navy and the Marines is UA (unauthorised absence) not AWOL (absent without leave). This is only used by the Air Force and the Army.
He used to hide out in Hamilton, Ohio and was known to have family there. Hamilton was close to Lawrenceburg Ind. where there were several distilleries and had hijacked shipments from those distilleries. There was a restaurant known as Nichtines was in a house that when renovating they found a stash of whiskey in the walls that came from one of those hijacking. Dillinger had stashed it there and never made it back to get it.
Kind of ironic that Hoover was a way bigger criminal than Dillinger ever was , and he was a disgusting human being as well .
Dillinger might have been a bank robber, but he wasn't forcing people to live in shanty towns.
@@robwalsh9843You know J Edgar & Herbert are different Hoover's, right?
@@cameronbruneau5053 I came back from the bar when I wrote that :/
Was J Edgar Hoover really a closeted cross dresser like it depicted in Naked Gun? I know it's a comedy, but there's a kernel of truth in every joke
@@Baltimore813supposedly yes. I guess historians are starting to think that too. And was supposedly a homosexual as well. After a certain point in his adult life he stopped dating females and his aide lived with him and went on vacation with him
Good story
To have the honour, to be shot of one of that infamous gang - and live ? A story story to tell your grandchildren.
Mooresville is on the southwest side of Indianapolis
If you’re in Chicago anytime and into this stuff go on The Untouchables Tour ,they drive a bus around different gangster sites including the Biograph theatre on Lincoln ave.
Thank you!
Why do I get a feeling that Humphrey Bogart got to be a famous actor because of John Dillinger? They kind of look the same. Don’t you think?
"decent sentence", "decent job", "lousy burglar", "lousy ruffians", "meanest bastard", "useful criminal connections", "dumb bad luck", "professors of crime", "3x2 foot cell", "dashing bandits", "faulty drivers", "those vultures", "federal to local"
According to the thumbnail, Dillenger had a 2.5 foot long noggin.....
still waiting patiently for a bio-pic on Willie 'the actor' Sutton, who was robbing banks in the '20's. but there isn't one because he stuck to his own belief that stealing doesn't have to involve killing people. he never fired his Thompson, or or his .38 in a bank, and didn't go out in a blaze of glory w/ lawmen. they know him in Brooklyn, very well. the only violence associated w/ his name, was when, after 5 yrs. on the run from breaking maximum security for the 3rd time, was fingered by a kid on a subway train, as he was having battery trouble in March, in NYC. planning to return to his car, he was arrested, and crazy Anastasia, who hated rats, saw the kid interviewed on TV, said to an underling, "I hate rats! I want that guy whacked(paraphrasing)" Sutton had no involvement whatsoever. but in NY, he was respected. when he began burglarizing places w/ his mentor in crime, 'Doc' Tate, Doc told him, "stealing will get you thrown in prison. murder will get you into the electric chair".Willie took it to heart. Dillinger fascinates me, but he enjoyed being known everywhere. and when he hooked up w/ sociopath Lester 'baby face Nelson' Gillis, it was a big mistake, as JD was also not excited by violence. Sutton only worked w/ 1 or 2 reliable men on any given job. and the amounts of cash and jewels he stole was staggering.
He gave me my lifestyle motto ... Live fast , die young❤😂
wow great video
The government hates competition....
Maybe the ether overdose messed up his judgement bc it sure sounds like he got sloppy and wreckless after the botched surgery?
I can believe that - happened to me.
Mooresville is not north east of Indianapolis
00 Dillinger
*Mooresville is on the southwest side of Indianapolis.
"crashed an unintended car"
hmmm
What ever happened to the pregnant girl in the black neighborhood in Indianapolis?
Ed Singleton was my great grandfather!
What happened to him after Dillinger??
@@christopherfowler9777 he got drunk and fell asleep on the railroad tracks and got run over by a train. I’m not sure what year, but my Grandma, his daughter, said she remembered the police showing up with his hat at the front door to let them know

This is excellent except for the narrator's text, which is clumsily written - a good editor should be consulted - and the sometimes unrelated and therefore distracting imagery.
"contraband guns'
please explain
🎉
Im getting so feed up with AI voices on documentarys now a days.
3ft ×2ft cell at 18 minutes? Don't think so mate

I Like ...
the FBI keeps us safe from Roger Stone
I watch the movie before and i admire his love tell my birdy
so many mistakes but still entertaining
John Dillinger was a cousin to my Grandfather. He had extended family, maybe Grandparents, around Lancaster, Mo where he briefly lived as a young boy, parents absent for some reason. He was slightly older than Gramps, but he remembered that none of the family children were allowed around him. So apparently, even as a child he was a problem. He was a bastard, including shoving a pregnant hostage off the running board into the ditch because he knew the police would stop to help her. Nervy bastard, very dangerous with or without a gun, obviously intelligent and socially capable, but rotten to the core according to family. He obviously did not care to hold a 9-5, and seemed to decide to die young and leave a good looking corpse.
Uncle John wasn't a problem as a child. Where did you hear that he shoved a pregnant hostage off of the running board?
Watching tonight Wednesday January 17th 2024

Who is your great grandfather? I'm always interested finding new relatives after marrying into the Dillinger/Hancock family.
hahahaha yeah right. You don't even know who your daddy is. Take your meds and be quiet.
Ai bullshyt
Funny how nobody my age knew about Dillinger till after the stupid Johnny Depp movie came out!!! I love how CZcams comes around now & teaches young idiots things they don't have to read about anymore 😂
I am interested in your comment about 'stupid Johnny Depp movie'. Why do you feel that Public Enemies was a 'stupid' movie?
Why would you fast forward your entire video smh
