Did the Peaky Blinders really exist before?
Is a series on Netflix about Mafias in Birmingham Tommy Shelby and c.o did they really exist? Should a commodity incident give no idea
Lol
The "Peaky Blinders" existed in reality and made the streets of Birmingham unsafe. However, this was the case around 1890, so there's a time shift in events in the series. And the notorious razor blades that were sewn into the edge of the cap probably do not correspond to reality either. At that time, such razor blades were in short supply and also outrageously expensive. The real "Peaky Blinders" were rather a gang of youngsters, while the characters in the series are all grown-ups. The real gang can also be classified with the petty crooks, because they tend to commit smaller crimes and their power never reached beyond the borders of Birmingham.
