March 12, 1921 - Algimantas Dailidė

Algimantas Mykolas Dailidė (12 March 1921 – 2015) was a Lithuanian Nazi collaborator who was an 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".

Dailidė was born in Kaunas in 1921. He joined the Saugumas in 1941 until he fled Lithuania to Germany as a refugee in 1944. He then went to the United States in 1950 as a non-quota immigrant under a DPA visa. In 2006, a Lithuanian court convicted him of having arrested twelve Jews, including women and children, and two Poles who tried to flee from the Vilna Ghetto, and were subsequently executed.
