The Men Behind Mob Wives Chicago

Frank “The German” Schweihs

This is the biography of Frank “The German” Schweihs, the deceased father of Nora Schweihs, one of the stars of the VH1 Mob Wives Chicago, a spinoff of VH1 Mob Wives. The German was an alleged La Cosa Nostra hit man for the Chicago Mob known as The Outfit. Frank Schweihs was a killer by nature. A loaded six-shooter would even feel intimidated around him. He was an assassin, who killed for a living. It’s easy to believe it was also a hobby that he mastered with creative precision.

Frank Schweihs, AKA “Frank The German” or “The German” for short, was an assassin for La Cosa Nostra. His resume included freelance assignments with the Chicago mobster organization, the “Chinatown Crew”, also known as the “26th Street Crew.” But, his premier client was “The Outfit.” He worked for bloody mob bosses such as Angelo J. LaPietra, also known as “The Hook” and Anthony “Joe Batters” Accardo. He died in 2008 at the age of 75. He was a federal prison inmate awaiting trial at the time.
