Detailed explanation-1: -“Baby Face” Nelson is one of the most notorious gangsters in FBI history. He was a callous killer with a violent temper who participated in a countless number of robberies and was responsible for the deaths of three FBI agents-more than anyone in history-as well as the deaths of numerous other law enforcement officers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Despite his boyish looks (thus the nickname), Nelson was a callous killer with a violent temper. Eventually even Dillinger refused to rob banks with him. Nelson ended up killing three FBI agents before losing his life during a bloody shoot-out.
Detailed explanation-3: -With these men and two other local thieves, Nelson robbed the First National Bank of Brainerd, Minnesota, of $32, 000 on October 23, 1933 (equivalent to approximately $670, 000 in 2021 dollars). Witnesses reported that Nelson wildly sprayed sub-machine gun bullets at bystanders as he made his getaway.
