Revision as of 01:43, 30 October 2021

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.
