There was a real-life Bronko Nagurski. Probably not the exact same guy.
- The tough part is that he was born in Ontario and his family moved to Minnesota when he was five (which would have been a year before GWI started). I should think immigration between the US and Canada was quite minimal at the time.
- Of course, his parents were from Eastern Europe, maybe through some butterfly effect they moved directly to the US to the old country without stopping in Canada? I doubt it; by that point in the series, HT really didn't go in for such things. At least not deliberately; most of his deviations felt like mistakes, like he didn't know better.
