Re: "Bugsy" Siegel
While at a party one night, he received a call from Murder Inc. ordering a hit on "Big Greenie" Greenbaum, a snitch. He left the party and did the job, but was arrested under charges of murder the next day. The story was on all the newspapers and he was absolutely infuriated that the stories referred to him as Bugsy. It has been said that when he first saw a newsboy selling the issue, he killed him in a fit of rage.
On a trip to Italy, he was invited to a party by Dorothy DiFrasso, an Italian Countess, where he met Hermann Goering and Joseph Goebbels. Being Jewish, he became enraged at their presence and wanted to kill them immediately. However, the Countess begged him to leave them alone and he eventually decided not to kill them. Had he been allowed to kill them, it might have had a serious impact on the outcome of World War 2.
