Thank you for sharing this bit of history of an American hero. The FBI and Police Officers involved in the era of Dillinger and his ilk had an extremely dangerous job on their hands. Hollywood tends to portray the criminals of that time in a "Robin Hood" type light. They were anything but. They were cold blooded scum who would rather murder and steal from people who worked for a living than work themselves. Men like Special Agent Campbell were the real hero's of his day.
