an FBI story many people don’t know:
The Feds got word their gang was at a rural fishing lodge next to one of the Great Lakes, I forget which.
They bust in to the Lodge restaurant with tommy guns blazing, and mow down four people DEAD, just basically leadHosed down the whole joint.
But they got the gang, right?
Nope!
They got NONE of them —the gang made a clean getaway.
The FBI attacked the wrong part of the hotel.
Did the FBI get away with it?
COMPLETELY.
It was a mini-Waco, basically. Or mini Oregon highway ambush, take your pick.
Little Bohemia Lodge
I do believe their biggest haul was $1500. Apparently Clyde Barrow had a problem in the lovemaking department. He did more than ok in the end of the movie. True? Go Figure. The movie: the best scene was his brother, played by Gene Hackman, dying-dramatic scene.
You may be confusing Bonnie & Clyde with the raid on the Little Bohemia Lodge in Wisconsin, wherein the feds were after John Dillinger. Some innocent people were killed, and Dillinger did escape.
sorry I was wrong....Dillinger was at the Little Bohemia Lodge, where the feds screwed the pooch.
That sounds a lot like the Little Bohemia Lodge raid on the John Dillinger gang. As usual they didn’t seek the help from local LEOs, who could have warned them there was a rear exit and helped them surround the place. When they arrived they opened fire on a car with three innocent diners leaving the lodge, killing one and wounding two. After a brief shootout between the FBI and Baby Face Nelson, all the gang left on foot through the woods and got away. Nelson who escaped alone later encountered two agents and shot them, killing one.

Pretty much the same when they killed Dillinger.
