      Actually a small correction, after the fall of Nazi Germany, Portugal with the treaty of england and after some ships and boats were bombed by the Germans in the portuguese arquipelagus Azores, Portugal contributed quite a bit to inprison nazis fleeing to Portugal, not known to the nazis, Portugal under Salazar's dictatorship DID allow jews and other minorities to flee and hide in the island of Madeira, this after the famous and courageous stunt of Aristides de Sousa Mendes the consul of Bordeaux to grant passports and safe passage between France to Portugal. Some mid-high ranking officers were caught and given to the their allies, England, others to France or kicked out of the country.

    My father was Russian, my mom German, they met in Austria after WW2, wanted to come to the USA then but had to wait a long time, they wanted to get the hell away from Europe quickly so they went to Brazil, where I was born, now I am 71 years old and been living in Chicago since 1961, this report is quite true. Also, one of the main reasons why Germans went to Argentina was because the climate there is very similar to the climate in Germany, unlike other northern S. American countries as Brazil, which is mostly tropical.

The president asked him to receive and work (signing recipes in some cases) with this german doctors that were living here, and also with a doctor who was living in Argentina and wanted to come to Paraguay regularly to do some business and work. This doctor coming from Argentina was as my grandfather called him, "José" Menguele, or as the allied called him "The angel of death". They worked together for some time in the 50's, "José" was selling some medical products. For his collaboration, José "awarded" my grandfather with a couple medals he had, one is an Iron Cross and the other is a medal given to the spanish volunteers in Russia. I still have the latter, while the former, sadly was given by my grandfather to Stroessner as a birthday present. José later went to Brazil and never came back here.

If anything WW2 put a brake on r&d in the German & Austrian steel industries as they had to dedicate themselves to arms production, however since then both countries have developed numerous processes such as electro-slag remelting (Austria) and are leaders in modern steel technology.

      you know why nazis need to play safe in south america?
      Because Brazil. Folks often forgot that Brazil fought alongside the allies in europe, and yes the same way Argentina has a lot of germans, so does the south of Brazil (in fact, even more germans...), but since Brazil wasn't one of their allies, thats the reason why nazis even in a place who accept them as they are, still need to play safe...
      They can't get the luxury of piss off the giant on the other side of the boarder, behaving like idiots...
      This is something that often happens in south america, is a good place to hide, but not to start build revolutions or trying to dominate the world plans.

    My Oma's husband was a Nazi officer, who was imprisoned during the war. Oma rode for hours on her bicycle each day to deliver food to him in his POW camp in Europe, food she bought from selling the family linen and silver.
    At the end of the war, they were told they could go to Argentina or Australia. They chose Australia because she said they'd never heard of Argentina. (Maybe this is because they were Hungarian, not German?) Oma and her husband divorced in Australia and I think she largely raised her three sons here on her own.
    Nazis would not have stood out in Australia post-war, as tens (hundreds?) of thousands of Europeans migrated here then. They provided much of the know-how and labour for one of Australia's biggest infrastructure projects - the Snowy Mountains hydroelectric scheme.
    Oma was not my blood relation as she was the grandma of my step brothers, but I often felt I was her favourite in our blended family in the 70s. She taught me to cook some of her traditional Hungarian recipes and I travelled with her in Germany in 1979, when she went back to visit her sister, who was trapped behind the Berlin Wall but allowed out a few weeks a year.
    Oma and her husband met Hitler and Mussolini at formal dinners, so I guess her husband was of some rank.

Conducted by the Joint Intelligence Objectives Agency (JIOA), it was largely carried out by special agents of the U.S. Army's Counterintelligence Corps (CIC). Many of these personnel were former members, and some were former leaders of the Nazi Party.

There was a supply pipeline and relationship established long before the war. This also explains why the Germans launched their Antarctica expeditions from Argentina.

Denounced at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, the extradition of this criminal was sent to the Argentinian Government - which denied it, under the "pretense" that he was now an "exemplary" Argentinian citizen. This criminal was responsible for sending my mother and grandparents to concentration camps, back in 1943, from Amsterdam. His name is thoroughly mentioned in the process that his former boss (also collaborator) faced in 1945, right after the war. This process is kept in the National Archives in The Hague 😢

    Not all the Germans who left for Argentina were war criminals, or even members of the Nazi Party. The country was completely devastated, after the war. It was bombarded into rubble, partitioned, and occupied by several foreign powers including the Soviets. Adolph Galland, a former fighter pilot and Luftwaffe general took the ratline to Buenos Aires through Italy. He left Germany because he was prohibited from obtaining gainful employment sufficient to earn any reasonable standard of living. Galland immigrated to Argentina at the invitation of the well known German aircraft engineer, Kurt Tank, who designed the FW-190 and the Ta-152. He had lived through a devastating war of attrition on the losing side, Göring had attempted to have him executed for insubordination prior to the collapse, he was imprisoned by the Allies after the war and was threatened with arrest by over-eager war crimes investigators. Forced by these circumstances to work as a game warden and living off of wild game and foraged edibles. He accepted Tank’s invitation.
    Galland worked in Argentina as a military advisor for the Argentine Air Force and a test pilot for Kurt Tank who was helping to develop. When Peròn was deposed his presence in Argentina was more tenuous. He was invited back to Germany to take charge of the new West German Air Force but was eventually denied that opportunity because he had left the country without the permission of the occupying forces.

    My moms grandpa (a ww2 officer who escaped to Bariloche) told her that Hitler (and more high rankings officers of the SS) escaped here. He Even said Hitler was in argentina until 1955, after that he took off to brazil. Also, when they landed here in argentina they got a "new" last name on purpose, for example, My grand Grand pa was Frederick goethe, but in argentina they changed his last name to "gette".

      @Cruiser that is a simple question. Because the cold war was already started. So who killed Hitler first, had bonuspoints when it comes to propaganda. Besides that, they expected if someone claimed that Hitler was death, it would end the WW sooner. The body they found at his bunker wasn't from Hitler, it was a look a like (it was confessed a bit later). There are a lot of conspiracies, and what is true? I don't know. Hunting Hitler is on youtube and you don't have to believe everything, but it gives a perfect view that a lot was possible.

      Have you also asked him how? Because, Berlin was Encircled by the Soviets, the nearest Airport is far from Berlin, if Hitler had escaped to Argentina, He would literally have to ask The Generals or The Troops to allow him to escape, which they wouldn't because Hitler was a Trophy to the Red Army.
      Hitler also said, and quoted "I will fall with Germany".

      this user censor my comments...all data I put in my comments are public information disponible on internet...
      This video use a lot of lies mixing with few facts to deceive other users...
      STOP PROPAGANDA!!!!...this is all lies!!!!...Argentina never was the main refuge for war criminals of the WWII...
      Note something in the video...they never give names!!!...how many SS officer and war criminals went to the country???...for sure they wiil have all the names...THEY HAVE NOTHING,FOR THIS THEY DON'T GIVE THE LIST...
      The only high german officer responsable of war crimes captured in Argentina was priebke,a SS general that killed civilians in italy ...there is no more evidence of high ranked SS as refugees in Argentina...
      If you take Hollywood...thousands of SS went to argentina...but is not true...just propaganda...
      Other high profile was Eichman... But c'mon only isra and hollywood could present of his guy as a high ranked nazi...eichman was a burocrat of third category...
      Other was mengele,that ended in Brazil...but mengele was an obscure doctor in auswichtz...is not that he was a medical boss in a concentration camp...was one of thousands germans doctors that worked for nazis in the holocaust...
      Other thing tha say the video...tha argentina had a spy net in europe after the war...BS!!!...First,this net would cost a fortune to mantain...and second...with poswar europe infested with KGB,CIA,MI6,etc...think of argentina spy net having some impact in europe is stupid...
      Other thing of the video,that peron sympatize with nazis...plain stupid...some minister of peron were jew...as Gelbard...minister of econmy...peron was not antisemite,but yes have admiration to italian fascism...and italian facist denied to give italian jews to nazis...at least while mussolini could say not...at the end of the war when germans took control of italy...began the deportations of italians jews to germany...
      What the video not say...is that during the war...around 30 thousands jews entered argentina...in the same moment that the US and England were rejecting jew refugees...they only wanted famous and rich jews...as Einstein or several rich jewish german families...but the poors ones were rejected...remember the famous ship saint louis with around 900 jews refugees that were rejected by Cuba,USA and canada...250 of these jews were killed in the holocaust...
      By the 60' Argentina had the third jew population worldwide...after Israel and the US...around 600.000 argentines citizens were of jew ancestry by the 60'...
      Dont believe all propaganda...
      Remember also that peron regime was against the anglo-US and soviets comunist influence geopoliticaly...so they invented this urban legend about Argentina during Perón regime as a refuge of nazis...thing tha is basically a lie...
      Actually the kirchner family,of jew ancestry,dominate the politics in the country...kiciloff,a jew,is governor of Buenos Aires the most wealthy province in the country ..several jews are important political figures in the country...timmerman,a former foreign relation minister...or Tellermann...former major of city of Buenos Aires...etc...
      A lot of argentines of jew ancestry were part of the arts,sport,politics in the country...for example two of 5 Nobel prizes of the country had jew origins...Milstein and Houssay...
      If you want real nazis war criminals ask for guys as werner von brawn a nazi that extensively used jews and russian war prisioners as slave workers in Peenemunde rocket factory...
      Or the thousands of SS officials that ended working for CIA or English MI6 during the cold war...
      Many of these SS and von brawn were war criminals...but hollywood and anglo propagandists never talk about them...
      If seinfeld and larry david had know about the real story of jews during and after WWII...the last country for sendig the soup nazi...would had been argentina...
      For sure he has been more confortable in london or washington...

Ask the Roman Catholic Church that put the blame of Marcos' to his children and even ask their children to ask forgiveness for whatever fault their parents did. The Church and the leftist communist fronts wanted the Marcos' children to beg forgiveness for what their parents did because that will also a sort of confirmation of the blames the church and the leftist ascribe to the late President Marcos.

    Wanted to add this, Klaus Barbie, a Gestapo officer was recognized and didn't care. After Aldoloh Eichmann was taken by the Israelis a representative told the Nazi hunters if they took one more the Nazis would kill every Jew in Argentina. They didn't and South America, while embarrassed NEVER tried to return them to justice. Many wound up in Paraguay where as far as I know their descendants STILL have a place in the jungle that's been soveirgn German territory since before the end of the war.

Jet Idk why you will only hear inside Argentina that Perón was actually paid to hide Hitler. And by my opinion and hearing it from a lot of people: Hitler didn't killed himself. He was at Salta or San Juan dancing in clubs (he liked our music?)

    Argentina was the safehouse for a lot of people who escaped from the war and its aftermath. We held a lot of Italians, Spanish, Germans and some british dudes too, that's why it's said that we sound like Italians when speaking Spanish, like 60% of Argentina is made of Italian's descendants. It's not any surprise that Nazi officers fled here, the government back then really appreciated the addition of experienced leaders. This video is like "yoo nazis in argentina, why doe", as if we didn't hold Chinese people looking for a new life or rich Americans wanting to come on vacation. Pretty much every country was involved in something with us.
