In the third part of the Dillinger saga, the Terror Gang finds itself being whittled down bit by bit, with the remaining five core members taking to the vast American highways, first to Florida, then a trip back home in Indiana to quickly rob a bank. Barely making it out alive, they flee to Tucson, Arizona, where the journey hits a bit of a snag...

In the continuing coverage of Depression-era bank robber John Dillinger, we trace the Terror Gang's steps after the deadly jailbreak in Lima, Ohio, which included daring robberies of police stations for guns and ammo, as well as more banks in Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin. The game of cops and robbers was growing quite dire as both sides upped the ante.

We also meet the woman who became the love of Dillinger's life, Mary "Billie" Frechette, as well as expand on some of Dillinger's lesser-known movements after his release from prison.

The Great Depression was a desperate time for the US and the world at large, and it spawned a whole host of criminals and gangs looking to take what they couldn't get. John Dillinger's crime spree of robbing banks and shooting back at cops across the Midwest only lasted about a year, but in that time he became something of a folk hero, as he expertly executed heist after heist, using a method he'd studied intensely during a 9 year prison stint.

In part one of this two-parter, learn about Dillinger's early years, as well as all the fearsome ways the rest of the world was responding to the economic havoc. Hitler sure was busy. Also learn why Allison has a bit of a personal connection to the story of Dillinger.
