Algimantas Dailidė

Algimantas Mykolas Dailidė (born 12 March 1921) is a former official of the Nazi-sponsored Lithuanian Security Police (Saugumas) during World War II. After the war, Dailidė sought refuge in the United States, saying he had been a "forester." While in the United States, Dailidė was a real estate agent until he retired to Gulfport, Florida. His citizenship was revoked in 1997^[1] and he is variously reported as having left the United States on his own or having been deported in 2004.^{[2][3][4][4][5][6][7]}

Dailidė was born in Kaunas. A Lithuanian court convicted him of having arrested twelve Jews who tried to flee from the Vilna Ghetto and for arresting two Polish nationals who subsequently became political prisoners; however, he was not sentenced to prison "because he is very old and does not pose danger to society".^[2]
