he was not Jewish and was born in Massachusetts in 1916. He apparently told them left and right he was a US citizen
Could he prove that he was an American or maybe Americans weren't that popular by then either?
- apaprocki 14y agoHe was arrested while using a fake ID to evade the police from his first capture and that ID had a fake first name and birthplace, so perhaps that is the reason. (I never met him -- he died before I was born) Passports were not required back when he left the US, so I doubt he had proof handy and even if he did it was probably a fine line. Showing proof he was American could have made him a target instead of helping.
