He is the master of bank robbing in the United States. He has updated the bank robbing technology by himself, turning it from a simple physical activity into a complex technical activity.
Although he is exceptionally talented and intelligent, his luck is very bad. Although he can often escape after robbing the bank, he will always go to jail for various inexplicable reasons.
In order to fight his bad luck, he made a lot of efforts and came up with many incredible methods, but they had little effect. In the end, he also died of his bad luck.
Who is he? Why did he embark on the path of robbing the bank?
Today I’m going to talk to you about the pioneer of the " modernist" bank grabbing- Herman Ram
[Herman's bad luck ”]
In 1890, Hermann was born in a butcher’s house in Kassel, Germany. Herman was very unlucky all his life, and as a result he also developed a hobby that relied on luck in his youth-gambling. Therefore, Herman at that time can be said to be impoverished and penniless for a long time.
But Herman had no craftsmanship and was unwilling to do coolies. In order to make money, he had to embark on the road of robbery. However, Hermann was less courageous. If he were to take a knife to rob him, he might be too nervous and stabbed himself, so every time he used Mongolian sweat medicine to pour other people's medicine, and then ran away after stealing the money.
In the era when there was no full street surveillance, this method was relatively safe, but don’t forget, Hermann’s luck was very bad.
In 1910, Hermann poured an innocent passerby again as usual, but when he took out the person’s wallet and checked it carefully, he found a document with a few large letters written on it-Hessen, Germany Municipal police
In the early 20th century,Germany is a highly militaristic country. If you provoke the police, you will lose your skin. In desperation, Hermann had to join the army, a place higher than the police.
But in the army, Herman still didn't get rid of his gambling habit, and every time he got the salary, he lost altogether. And because he couldn't rob, Herman fell into a penniless state again.
But Herman is not a person who can easily admit his fate. He knows that he should not be able to get rid of bad luck, so he plans to change his fate through technical means, which is simply to make a thousand gambling.
Herman is a very clever man, and he quickly practiced a thousand tactics to perfect his skills, and slaughtered all sides at the gambling table. But just when he was complacent and thought he had finally defeated his fate, reality slapped him again.
One day in 1912, Hermann was relying on an excellent thousand skills to collect the military payment of his comrades. As a result, his stool suddenly broke and Hermann fell on the ground with all his feet up and down. The poker hidden in the body is also scattered all over the place.
After the incident was revealed, Herman was beaten severely by others, and then threw him out of the barracks. At this time, he not only lost the asylum of the army, but also faced the pursuit of the police. In desperation, Herman went to his promised land-the United States.
[Herman’s "American Dream"]
To some extent, Herman’s status in the history of American crime should be similar to that of Vito Corleone, and both of them belong to the "Godfather". "Class figure. The difference is that Vito Corleone belongs to the real boss, but Herman is often called "dad" by the ill-fated fate.
In 1912, Herman came to the United States, and when he first arrived, he quickly embarked on the old path of drug robbery. And his luck hasn't changed in the slightest, and he is still as unlucky as ever.
In 1914, Hermann drugged a businessman as usual. He didn't expect this man to be a veteran at the wine table, with a strong drug resistance, and he woke up before Hermann walked far away. Call the police immediately after discovering that you have lost your money,Hermann was taken into the police station without surprise.
After entering the prison again, Herman began to reflect on his life. He deeply realized what stupid thing is to drug robbery, only a few hundred dollars each time, how long can it last? ?
After learning from the pain, Herman felt that since it was all robbery, it would be better to directly vote, so he devoted himself to the business of robbing the bank without hesitation. At this time, the other robbers on the land of the United States did not know that their "godfather" was coming!
From our current perspective, it is almost impossible to rob a bank. However, the United States had just experienced several economic crises at that time, social conflicts were very serious, crime incidents were endless, and the police department was sometimes unable to protect itself, so it was actually feasible to rob a bank.
At this time, we can call the bank grabbing technique "classical", and it mainly uses two methods.
The first type is the same as we often see in movies. A group of people rushed into the bank with guns, shot two shots at the ceiling, and then asked the bank staff to transfer the money into a pre-prepared bag. The success rate of this method is completely a mystery. How much money can be grabbed and whether it can escape after grabbing is completely dependent on luck. If luck is involved in a matter, it is obviously not suitable for Herman.
The second method is to bomb the outer wall of the vault at night when the black wind is high for a month. This method requires precise intelligence and advanced technology. The amount of explosives must be controlled so that it can blow down the outer wall without destroying the banknotes inside. . There was once a criminal who used an overdose of explosives and sent himself to the sky with the vault.
After careful consideration, Herman felt that he had been in the soldier and that there should be no problem with the amount of explosives, so he decisively chose the second method. Facts have proved that Hermann's skills are indeed very good, but his luck is also very, very bad. Because he didn't know when he exploded the outer wall of the vault just right, that there was an all-steel insurance wall inside.
In the face of sudden changes,Herman was dumbfounded, and the police who came upon hearing the sound quickly took him into the prison in uniform. Afterwards, Hermann learned that the wall had not been installed for less than a week, and he was in good time.
After entering the palace for the second time, Herman can completely recognize how unlucky he is. But he still did not give up, but decided to upgrade the old bank-robbing technology. A year later, "Rahm Technology" came into being, and the world "robbing the banking industry" has since ushered in a new era.
[Hellman and "Rahm Technology"]
What is "Rahm Technology"? In fact, it is very simple. With years of experience in joining the army, Hermann transformed the chaotic and disorderly bank robbing into an organized and disciplined military operation.
The birth of "Ramm Technology" is closely related to Herman's own experience. If it weren't because he was too unlucky and would often fail because of some nonsensical things, then he probably wouldn't be robbing the bank. So keep improving.
After he was released from prison, Herman began to look for reliable partners. In the "Ramm Technology" he summarized, everyone needs to perform their own duties. They should drive by car, be on guard, and take money. Only by doing so can the efficiency of the team be improved, and the opportunity to escape will not be missed due to too long delay.
After finding all the staff, Hermann began to conduct accurate investigations of the target bank. From the building structure to the distribution of police forces, it must be clear to heart that there will be no one floor after the explosion. Case. In view of his bad luck, Herman will also prepare multiple escape routes and multiple spare vehicles in advance to detect the weather and road conditions of the day in advance.
Finally, Herman will take the team members to rehearse a lot in the remodeled warehouse, and make sure that every movement is smooth and smooth, so that robbing the bank becomes everyone's muscle memory.
After everything is ready, Hermann is back on the road to change his fate.
In the ten years from 1920 to 1930, Herman and his team gave Bank of America a hard punch, robbed dozens of banks one after another, and robbed more than one million dollars in total.During this period, there was not a single miss and no one was arrested. Soon, the Herman team broke out their prestige and became the master of the "banking industry" in the United States.
But did Herman really get rid of bad luck by his own efforts? The answer is no.
Although he can escape the hunt every time after robbing the bank, he will always be sent to prison for various unimaginable reasons.
For example, peeing in front of a lady after being drunk, being reported as indecent and detained for half a year; or forgetting to check out when shopping in a grocery store, and being detained for another year. In short, in these ten years, Herman was either on the way to rob the bank or on the way to the prison.
On December 16, 1930, Herman, who once again lost all his fortune, set foot on the road to rob the bank, but unfortunately, his bad luck also reached its peak at this time.
First of all, their driver was too nervous and hit the car on the road buckle while escaping. Subsequently, some of the three spare vehicles that Ram prepared ran out of gas, some were fitted with speed limiters, and some radiators leaked water, all of which were useless.
Finally, when a group of people finally escaped to a farm to steal a large truck, the farmer even directly carried out a Maxim machine gun and swept them indiscriminately.
At this point, Hermann also resigned and was about to surrender. As a result, the police chased him up at this time and shot Hermann in a panic. At this time, the distance between the two of them was 350 meters, which was far beyond the effective range of the pistol. However, the bullet hit Hermann's head directly as if being dragged by fate. The "godfather" of the bank robbing industry Passed away in this somewhat absurd way.
However, although Herman died, after that, thousands of Hermanns stood up. One of them was Dillinger. He was considered to have obtained the true biography of Hermann, and his deeds were still It was adapted into the movie " public enemy", but this is another story.
This is the end of this program,Do you think Herman's ending is considered guilty and deserved?
