Eliot Ness vs. the Nazi Fifth Column

📺 Read our episode review and recap here: https://theuntouchables.co/the-otto-f... Although "The Otto Frick Story" begins quite forcefully, it wanders around and loses focus early on. It is the only program to address the Nazi phenomenon in its infancy. The marriage of German Nazis and American gangsters does have historical precedent, but this installment, severely underplayed with three small characters and a token assault on a Jewish-owned delicatessen, doesn’t capture the epic of the scope of the drama. Narrator Walter Winchell, like many among Desilu’s creative time, was Jewish. In his career as a radio correspondent, Winchell eagerly assailed pro-fascists, pro-Nazi, and their enablers throughout the 1930s including the German American Bund and Charles Lindbergh. Winchell's real-life assault on the Nazis in the press gives extra gravitas to his finely written concluding narration. The Nazis did in fact host a rally at Madison Square Garden on February 20th, 1939 and this is the rally featured in the episode’s archival footage. It is the use of this footage and the attempt to intertwine the story of the Nazi Fifth Column and gangsterdom that perhaps best illustrates the show's growing tendency to stretch historical accuracy, making it seem almost Twilight Zone-esque that Ness would ever fight the Nazis.
