In the penultimate episode of "Al Capone All American," the heat is on, and Dan and Alana find not all is what it appears as the tides change on the public’s perception of our infamous mobster.

February 14th, 1929: a routine police raid on a Chicago garage turns out to be anything but, as seven men are machine-gunned to death; an event colloquially known as the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. In this episode of “Al Capone All-American,” love is NOT in the air, as Dan and Alana find that the dead men are but collateral damage to an insidious gang war gripping the streets of Chicago—and all signs point to one Al Capone.

Helmer & Arthur Bilek, authors of The St. Valentine's Day Massacre: The Untold Story of the Gangland Bloodbath that Brought Down Al Capone--the book which solved the case. A special thank you as well to William J. Helmer for his role in publishing Georgette Winkler's Al Capone and His American Boys: Memoirs of a Mobster's Wife, the most important account of the slayings.
