Crews filmed two famous Dillinger robberies here, with a downtown bank/office building standing in for the Security National Bank and Trust in Sioux Falls, S.D., and Oshkosh's Masonic Temple standing in for the American Bank and Trust Co.
JOHNNY DEPP PUBLIC ENEMIES QUOTES MOVIE
Oshkosh was turned into a movie set with refaced buildings and '30s-era billboards, window displays, awnings and marquees. He didn't realize the men's identities until he heard about the shootout the next day. He said Dillinger gave him a quarter so he could buy everyone ice creams at an upcoming birthday party. He remembers playing catch with Dillinger and George "Baby Face" Nelson and having to end the game because Nelson threw too hard. He was 8 when the six men and four women came to stay at his father's lodge and restaurant. One of the few people still alive who was there is Emil Wanatka, 83, who now lives in Ashland, Wis. Dillinger and others jumped from a second-floor window and escaped through the woods. An FBI agent and a bar patron were killed and another FBI agent, a constable and two other guests were wounded. Agents staged a disorganized and disastrous raid, firing hundreds of bullets. Dillinger and his gang went there to relax and hide from the FBI, but a family member of the owner told the FBI. One of the most dramatic events happened at Little Bohemia Lodge in northern Wisconsin in April 1934.
