Why Did So Many Nazis Choose Argentina to Flee to After WWII?

- As the Allied armies advanced through France, Italy and Eastern Europe, high ranking officials and officers in the German National Socialist Party, the SS and the Wehrmacht seem to have finally realised that taking on most of the largest industrialised countries in the World all at the same time had not been the wisest idea, and at this point there was a slight chance that their supposedly Aryan behinds could get a little spanking for being such naughty little nazis. And while by virtue of being human, no doubt a percentage of them might have enjoyed the odd flogging session, let’s just say not all of them were keen to assume the position and answer for their crimes. Especially if the position in question included getting choked out by a rope… Ok, listen, maybe this isn’t the best analogy. The point is, while for some people that’s all just a fun Saturday night, for these individuals, their crimes were such that they’d not get to continue breathing afterwards, which is key so as to be able to wonder what’s wrong with you as you look in the mirror the next morning.
Silliness aside, even the most rabid extremist was fully aware that their Axis enemies knew of their rather extreme crimes against humanity, see our video What Did the German Public Know About the Holocaust During WWII? As such, as the war was winding down and with the writing on the wall, many of the leaders among the Nazis - especially within the SS - started to draft plans for their escape to neutral and friendly nations in order to secure their livelihoods and lives after the war.
One of the top destinations recommended by ‘Nazi Holiday Deals, Inc.’ was Argentina. But this all brings up the question of, of all the places in the world they could potentially go, “Why Argentina?”
Authors: Arnaldo Teodorani and Daven Hiskey
Host: Simon Whistler
Producer: Daven Hiskey
After WW2, Argentina was a favorite destination not just for Nazis on the run, but also for many other Europeans (called Displaced Persons, or DPs) who could not or would not return to their countries of origin. The country has a long historical tradition of welcoming European immigration, and many DPs had skills which Argentina felt it needed (doctors, lawyers, etc.).
Actually this is why: Argentinian constitution allowed any person from Europe to come and live in Argentina, except those Europeans deemed insane or having a communicable diseases. Additionally Argentina subsided their lodging, transportation to Argentina, job placement. All of this was designed to suppress, deport and, most importantly, outnumber the Native peoples indigenous to the land.
Simple answer: Peronism is fascism.
When Peron had to escape from Argentina, also went as refugee to Franco's Spain, another fascist ruler.
So where does the beer, Peroni, fit into all this
@@ProbablyNotLegitfits in the trash
Today the far left loves Putin...
Well, have you heard the blue book? A book made by the CIA to put in the minds of the population that argentina was nazi. It was a plan to “colonize” southamerican countries, read the plan condor
Question: is the US and UK fascist or even Nazi for letting Nazis in to work for the atomic bomb?
No. It isnt.
Is Peronism fascism? No, it isnt. Peron first fled to Uruguay, Paraguay, then Spain. He didnt go to Spain because he liked Franco's nazi politics, Peron fled because he suffered assasinations attemps after he was exiled in 1955.
My grandfather worked on a farm in Nebraska and he mentioned about a group of ex-Nazi solders being held not too far from the farm. He said they were friendly, mainly because they said Americans don't torture POWs and they were grateful for that. I thought he was pulling our legs with that story...
uh-uh.... we used pow's for slave labor dutring wwII.
My great grand parents and 3 other members of the family worked at a camp in Colorado that held Germans during WWII. My great grandmother learned a lot of great recipes from them
I don’t think it’s taught that the Germans took Pervitin. It’s meth, that is how they stomached mass killings. Most of the people killed were killed within the first 2 years in European forests. Rip. But these soldiers were heavily drugged. If nothing else it’s a warning about the blurred lines of drug use in the militaries. We’re seeing a rise in mercenary groups and they’re not bound by international law, and are even more reckless than state militaries, unaccountable to a completely different degree.
I have a similar story about German POWs who worked on western Oklahoma farms while being 'hosted" at Fort Reno. They were very happy to get away from the camp and work for farm families, who often treated them like family. 😊
Should’ve told him to stop humanizing them demons
A good topic to cover would be the Mennonites that Hitler shipped to Paraguay.
Mennonites wouldn't fight in the war but at the same time, these people Hitler shipped out were Ayrians, so he didn't want to kill them. So he put them on a ship and abandoned them in Paraguay and possibly other countries as well. They were just dumped in the wilderness with no possessions other than the clothes on their back and abandoned. If they lived, fine, and if they died, fine. Many died but others found Mennonite communities that banded together and helped each other survive.
My best friend was born in one of those Mennonite communities Paraguay to parents who were two of the people dumped there by Hitler.
If he didn't want them to die why did he abandon them and leave them destitute?
@@malachyfox1828 He didn't care if they died but didn't want to actively do it himself if they did die. By abandoning them at least they had a chance
A similar thing would be a good policy for those who Force Entry & Settlement (illegal immigration), but give them enough money to get home or elsewhere.
lol this didnt happen any germans in paraguay that didnt immigrate before 1933 or after 1947 are nazis
Please please please would you slow down your speaking??? You speak so fast and in monotone that it’s difficult to understand you.
The English language provides sentences and paragraphs for a reason.
What’s the rush?
I can only listen to you on .75 on my iPhone.
As the joke goes, "Never ask a woman her age, a man his salary, or an Argentine what his abuelo's SS rank was."
😅😅😅
😮
My grandfather was an italian marine POW, was in two bombarded ships and later on almost killed his brother because he joined the italian mafia after the war... Sadly i didn't got to know him, but my dad said my grandfather didn't like to talk much about the last one
Or an American how they got to the moon
Many of them went to India.
Adolf: "Take all this stolen treasure, load it onto your u-boats and set up a second front over in South America."
Captains: "Yeah, we'll get right on that and totally not just spend it all living in luxury."
I mean tbf they did had a legacy in the south of Brazil, not all people that live there are nazis, but there are some underground organizations over there.
Wow... Andrew Lloyd Webber never mentioned all that in Evita...
Well there were the lines: "Italy's unconvinced by Argentine glory. They equate Perón with Mussolini, . . . (sarcastically) can't think why."
30ish years ago, I met a local college student in attending UK. His accent was weird, sounded almost Dutch, (knew he wasn't Dutch because he asked questions without asking if it was ok to ask questions) looked aryan AF, but spoke fluent Spanish. I asked, he told. His grandfather or great grandfather was a pre-war german immigrant to Argentina and his maternal ancestor was actually indigenous (Wichi IIRC). Before he ended up working in a Mexican restaurant he worked with a crew with a bunch of much browner Central and South American green card holders. The owner was an arsehole who decided to get slaveowner rhetoricy without realizing this guy spoke spanish. When he related to his co-workers WTF he just heard, they all agreed to quit and they walked out as a group. He was truly a bit of a legend in that community.
They all claim their family immigrated "pre-war" lol
All of the responses to your story are annoying and obvious.
@@EMILY4DAYSWhat's worse is the names resemble some of the AI generated ads I've been blocking. Possibly payback. C'est la vie.
Your acquaintance sounds like just a bit of a legend. 😁
@@walteringle2258 Lol.
I'd honestly love to see a video on why there was no Italian War Crimes trial like there was for Germany and Japan at the end of the war despite the fact that Mussolini's crew were certainly no saints.
I don't know this for certain but I suspect it is because after Mussolini was hanged Italy switched sides and supported the allies.
First of all, Mussolini was deposed and arrested by the king himself, wich then led to a civil war. And second, the americans didn't want any such war crimes trial, since it would given even more political power to the italian communist party.
@@brendanconlon8292Cause juice were pissed on Germany. Wish Italy would see what they’ve done, joined the bankers
@@brendanconlon8292 I was thinking that might have been the reason, but also surely there were still war crimes that happened, I imagine there would've been an Italian version of Hideki Tojo to blame even if it's to have some high ranking army official answer for Fascist Italy's crimes.
@@Kaltagstar96 I was just wondering the other day why Italy doesn't condemn Mussolini like Germany condemned Hitler. Especially after elections a fascist as president. 🤔
By far one of the best written scripts yet. Among a massive amount of great scripts. There is a reason this platform is a huge success. Brillaint idea.

"Chief naughty boy Adolf Hitler". Don't know wether that is sarcasticly accurate or a funny understatement ...
As someone else pointed out, the Japanese Emperor is the Son of Heaven. Essentially deity on earth. Thus putting him to trial and then punishment like a normal mortal would have set Japan off all over again. Had he simply committed sepuku, that would have been one thing, but the Prince who was calmer and more Western in attitude, was not in line for the throne. Thus, in the interests of not continuing to battle Japan, the US made the best of a bad situation ... that's kind of what politics do, find a way to compromise for what is wanted. We held the upper hand, but we didn't really want to have to nuke anyone ever again. Then again, the US was still sort of dealing with our indigenous population quite horribly, so, no one is innocent.
Might makes right. Got a problem with it? Grow stronger, overpower the status quo, become the very thing mentioned prior. I assure you, in those scenarios, the loudest and strongest get to speak foremost. You listen because they are in charge of you. Not vice versa.
You know they wont listen to the American occupation, but they would still do anything their god-emperor told them to, killing him and trying to enforce the obedience while fighting undoubly a resistance group vs just using your new puppet leader is a no brainer really. Except for the lack of justice, but burning Japanese civilians alive and then nuking two times, are warcrimes just the same. All atrocities committed on unarmed civilians are
A lot of Nazi's fled to South Africa. I know a guy whose grandfather was one & he showed me his war medals. I was so shocked. That man is rolling in his grave knowing his grandson befriended people of colour.
Interesting 🤔
Yes!! What I came here for.
Is he
They didn’t have issues with people of color?
Este tipo sabra que la mayoria de los naxia se fueron para estadoa unidos? Los cientificos nazis fueron a la nasa y todo
When my grandmother was angry with her brother (who lived with her) she would say “He’s as mean as Hirohito.” So this PR campaign didn’t work with her.
Happy New Year, Simon! Thanks for "the Good Word" in the first half, but "never knew and not surprised" about the nasty stuff with the USA and Unit 731.
To those unaware of American Civil War history, this is exactly what Brazil did with American’s from the southern states. Brazil brought in an estimated 20,000 Americans with the intent of gaining agricultural knowledge, primarily around the cotton industry. Americans loyal to the south took their slaves, and i exchange for cheap land, worked with Brazil, biding time for a possible second uprising of the south.
…slavery being legal there at the time.🤬
@@raymondmuench3266 Yea, well slavery as we know it is over in America.
Africa is 2nd to India with the modt slave labor in the world.

I can't wait for an episode on Japanese war crimes especially at Camp 731. What happened there was beyond horrible but it is rarely mentioned. MacArthur sold out humanity.
Linked at the end of this video. We have an over 2 hr documentary on that. :-)
@@TodayIFoundOut
Japanese War Crimes : - )
Baloney; MacArthur kept Japan from going into Communism or returning to it's nasty former state and went on to become a huge success. What have YOU ever done? Making cheap shots does not count.
Joseph McCarthy got all the American war crimes evidence classified top secret and thus prevented it being presented in court. (Yes, that Senator Joseph McCarthy). Killing off war crimes trials was a Republican plot.
An excellent video with an important message and no attempt to pronounce "Federación de los Círculos Alemanes de Beneficencia y Cultura" for which we are eternally grateful.
Still waiting for a deep dive on "Operation Paperclip".
Do it yourself.
Go look up Annie Jacobson. She goes in deep on this.
You want a deep dive into " Operation Paperclip" read the book : Area 51 by Annle Jacobson,includes all the knowledge you could ever want on this subject and other's, including, Kennedy and Vietnam, Area 51 and the Roswell crash. The hiring of 100 German Scientist's by the U.S., The U-2. Story and a lot of picture's.
These videos are brilliant, thank you guys! ❤
It’s funny how the British always say that Americans didn’t help and they didn’t but never talk about how much the British didn’t help much either. The British didn’t help thy neighbor hell the king didn’t help his own Russian cousin in 1917
What's really funny is how Americans are always like "we won the war" ignoring the more significant contributions by the russians and the canadians😅
Yeah, the king's almost identical cousin, was shot point blank. The Brit's were probably worried that he might "up stage" them. Czar Nickolas. The Bolshevik Revolution, was a revolution, by a bonifide country, the worst thing to happen to Russia. The American revolution was not a revolution, as it wasn't an established country yet. It was a "rebellion" over taxes. A little Brit on Brit action.
Wish You a happy new year Simón!
Simon, thanks to you and your crew for another brilliant video. I have wondered about this matter for 50 years. Now, thanks to you all, I know a lot more.
I love you videos man I'm excited every single time I see a new one. New stuff to learn and you do it in a way that absolutely keeps my attention. I love it 😀
Your sense of humor is delightful, I think.
My dad got a new neighbor and the new neighbor who was prob 10 yrs older than my dad at the time, was asked by my dad where he moved from. The man said Argentina. My dad who has no filter said oh you’re a Nazi. The man moved out the next week quietly. So I guess my dad was right.
While... it's a bit... harsh to automatically dub someone a nazi purely because they have lived in Argentina (there's lots of non-German-descended Argentinians, and lots of German-descended ones who were not nazis, as this video shows)... I guess statistically you're going to be right every now and then.
Maybe he didn’t like his neighbors.
Or maybe he did not like having an asshole as a neighbor.
@@juanmonge7418LMAO
Maybe because youre dad was an asshole?
I’m from MN and my grandma was a member of what we call a German from Russia.
I was born in Minnesota. I haven’t lived there since I was three, but my high school German teacher’s mother was an ethnic German from Russia.
I find it interesting how Madonna expressed her belief and practice in Kabbalah, but then also memorialized Eva Peron, the wife of a dictator who provided Nazis comfort and safety.😂
The fact that people actually listen to celebrities for anything practical, many of whom are unstable/drunks/drug addicts/never had to live in the real world.
lol who would have ever imagined a celebrity might be kinda dumb?
@@endrankluvsda4loko172
They develop a form of autism and self-serving confirmation bias. They're focused on keeping their status as a celebrity. They're isolated from people other than their fan base, legacy media figure heads, and management. They're in a feedback loop of opinions and viewpoints with their fans.
@@endrankluvsda4loko172 beautiful!
Zero irony there, considering.....
There was a high level of germans living a town over from me. Was helping a friend remodel his house and under the floor was a layer of german newspapers from 1929
So not Nazis :)
@@ronald3836you don’t know that, some Germans moved ahead of Hitler
Simon trimmed his beard!!!
Or was this recorded before he grew it out?? 😂😂
He did! I like the new length! It looks good on him!
And it looks *great*! Not just the grooming, but the length.
I wonder if he got a new sponsor that sells beard trimmers?
I don't see a difference

A lot of Germans settled in Chile too. There’s a lot of little German style neighborhoods there.
Yes Chile has a large German population. So does Uraguay.
Literally had to pause twice within the first minute because I was laughing so hard 😂😅 Perfect intro!
8:46 Just casually giving one of the best Sunday School lessons on the internet to show how pre-war Christians in Allied nations totally let down the Jewish peoples trying to escape Germany.
Moreover, the rest of the world rejecting jewish escapees was the reason the final solution was created. The nazis didn't want to kill the jews, they wanted them out of their country. As no other country wanted them, they came to the conclusion that they must be exterminated. No other country batted an eye when they learned about this being carried out either. They created Israel beacuse even after the horrors of war and holocaust no european country wanted their jews back and no other country wanted to recieve them.
@PaulWalker87 I just watched another of Simon's videos where he did the same thing... something set him off to be so outspoken on this topic at least twice that I've seen in recent videos.
Not just Christians, but also Muslims. Syria and Egypt welcomed nazi war criminals after WW2 and refused to hand them over for trial.
It was a test they failed dismally
At this point I’m seeing Simon more than I see my husband….and I love it!
New year and a new Channel I find Simon is on.
Simon, I love your beard this way!
Hey simon can you make a video on "how regular german became nazi" ? That'd be interesting
It's simple Germany was so broke their dollars became worth nothing Hitler promised and gave them food, medical etc. desperate people will do anything to feed their familes
It's not a hard concept. It's the same way that most people are in support of their country. Your average citizen wasn't aware of the mass executions
@@chrisXlr8rWhile that's basically true it's also more involved than that. For most people love of country doesn't get them to ethnic cleansing and genocide.
@stormthrush37 but for most people it does get them to ethnocentrism and immigration control (look at most of Europe today. Especially the Balkans). The average citizen was not aware of the genocide going on. Especially not on such a large scale
@@chrisXlr8r My point was it's an interesting and sufficiently complex enough topic to merit at least one extended video on the subject. Yes, if you look at it from a perspective of the banality of evil and seeing the underlying biases and lack of knowledge present in most of us that could without too much trouble turn us into the monsters, then yes, the road for any of us to commit atrocities while thinking we're the good guys appears to be very much shorter than most of us think.
Like rats from a sinking ship. The Nazis sure knew how to make the Beginning of the Cold-War Era interesting.
They felt bringing the emperor on trial would cause complete breakdown in an already broken country and he could be controlled at this point.
I remember Paul VI !
The pic you showed os the same portrait as in the convent and the office for the first dozen years of my life!
Simon has jokes. Happy New Year.
Thank you for your videos.
Thank you, Simon & Team! ❤
I have said that about the Good Samaritan parable for years!
because Juan Perón was sympathetic to them.
Peron was a nazi himself, by his own declarations.

I knew quite a bit of this but I didn't know all of it. I need a shower.
South American countries were often not so different from the NAZIs and welcomed their organizational abilities.
All catholic countries were fascist, because the catholic church is behind fascism.
As a Brazilian national I must confess that South America is still the same, always was: a haven for criminals.
I think its largely a similar situation to japan, they were too homogeneous and too late to fall under the influece of MNCs. Most in the continent will have never seen enough foreigners to count on both hands
Yea and they were racist and prejudice too which lined up perfectly with the Nazis
I can think of a certain country in North America that not only fits your description but sometimes was the reason for your description.
On another note. You should read the “Honor Bound” series by Web Griffin.
Thanks for sharing.
Don't Cry for Me Argentina.
The description of this video choked me up with laughter.
"we will not go into details on every single rat line, every single escapee, nor every single smuggler who helped them to safety as an entire TH-cam channel would not be sufficient to cover that!"
If only we knew someone with an army of of TH-cam channels ....
Yes, I'm sure you've probably covered enough of them already and it would get a bit tedious in the end.
You'd think a historian would know that "Give me your tired, your hungry, your poor..." was NOT U.S. immigration policy. It was merely a POEM, written on a statue, by a FRENCHMAN. Not U.S. policy. You should know that.
Exactly
Seems to be the current immigration policy of France. Of course, it's working exactly as well as you'd think lol
Yes, at the time the Statue of Liberty was built, most store signs read "Dogs and Irish not allowed" not US immigration policy either.
The French created the Statue of Liberty not to attract immgrants to the US but as a symbol for the rest of the world to adapt US liberty. The poem associated with it was a American creation from a contest. Wikipedia it up there more.
The lines are from The New Colossus, by Emma Lazarus, an American Jew of German extraction.
And yet people think Peron’s leftist
Perón no era de izquierda pero tampoco era de derecha era de la tercera posición
Haven't watched simon much lately in the last few months and I just got the whiplash that he's not apart of those other channels anymore
I think it’s important to remember that the 1930s was the Great Depression in America. People were seeing their literal neighbors in desperate need of jobs, food, shelter and other resources. I’m not saying that it justifies turning away international refugees, but you make it sound as if Christian Americans were just smug racist hypocrites, when the reality is that they were in the midst of desperate suffering themselves.
And as a bonus, there had been quite a few hoax smear campaigns about Germans leading up to the war. Many Americans simply didn't believe that the Jews were experiencing the level of discrimination that was claimed. They thought it was yet another hoax.
Makes sense
It was the Great Depression all over the world in the 1930s
Please! The USA was fully in the throes of an anti-immigrant, pro-eugenics ethos in which anything “dark”, “foreign “ and non-Protestant was to be eschewed. The Jews were special victims of this. Intriguingly, America’s own eugenics programs were cited by defense lawyers at Nurenburg as indicative of Allied hypocrisy. By the way, WW2 brought the Depression to an end. Where was our excuse in excluding the refugees?
FYI Australia has a ‘Good Samaritan’ law whereby anyone helping someone else cannot be sued if it goes wrong. This is not common in many countries. In China, people are really hesitant to help others because it is so common to be sued even when you were not responsible. Whoever takes someone to the hospital or cares for them is held responsible and will be charged as such. It really sucks and i have since learnt that other countries have similar things happening.
Glad that Australia recognizes that helping others should not rebound on the helper.

Good to see Simon finally accepting that a lot of them escaped including you know who.
He didn't escape,, his skull has been tested on numerous occasions and it is 100% percent his,, you'd know that if you actually did any research that isn't on fb or some bullshit conspiracy website,, and to say Simon is "finally" accepting that Nazis did escape to Argentina is so stupid it's not even funny,, I've watched plenty of Simon's clips on the Nazis and I have never heard him claim that no Nazis escaped to Argentina,, where you got that from is beyond me,, but I'm suspecting a crack pipe
Highly informative, thank you!
Well many reasons why the nazis chose South America. For one the government there had the same nazi ideals and they had there soldiers dress like the German army. And for two. I don’t think anyone in the world would have thought of them escaping to South America. And another reason is, some of South America reminds the nazis of Germany. How it looks.
Patagonia
Argentina accepted a lot of Germans after the war, and they also accepted one of the largest number of Jewish refugees. Person would let anyone come in provided they could pay.
I like how Simon deliberately mispronounces “Argentine” - residual hostility from the Falkland War?
A good book on the subject is Hunting Evil.
Argentina got a not very successful fighter plane out of it. The US got a moon landing.
Just think how brilliant it would be to have this man as your history professor at university!
He's just a narrator. He doesn't do any of the research or write the script. So yeah, that class would SUCK!
Aren't all teachers narrators just repeating what they've read?@@firebry23
I don't know. Six hours a day of instructional monologues could get exhausting.
As has been mentioned, Simon does not actually have a deep knowledge and understanding of the things he's talking about - he's just reading off an autocue. If you asked him a question, he wouldn't know the answer. This is why teachers should have a degree in teaching and preferably also a licence.
However, my history teachers in high school were more fun than Simon, and you bet I always had high grades for history. So having someone with Simon's attitude, the little remarks, the colorful language etc as your history teacher is definitely conducive to the school experience. Bonus points if they turn the whole episode of Henry VIII's wives into a game show.
An attempt to escape justice is what I always thought.
There is serious scholarly debate about whether or not the Japanese Emperor was in a position to prevent the Japanese military from engaging in war crimes in the years leading up to and during the war. Even the Japanese military command had lost control of their own troops. Look at the Marco Polo Bridge incident and other events before the war. They were out of control, and they were murdering anyone who tried to stop them. It is possible that, had the Emperor tried to restrain the military he would have been politely ignored, just as his brother's criticisms were, or even placed under effective house arrest.
However, two facts that are not disputed are that he was kept reasonably well informed, including with knowledge about war crimes, and that he did not attempt to give any such orders until it was time to surrender.
So he fulfilled all the criteria for a conviction for war crimes.
@@ronald3836 I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. I would say that he was morally culpable, but that's not always the same thing.
While everyone is ripping on Argentina, please remember they took the most jewish refugees first
The curious thing is that after the war, Argentina received many jewish people, and now is the third country in America with the largest jewish population.
There was a German community in Argentina.
Was? There still is!
One? A few.
…my man!!!! …. Fella you absolutely covered everything I don’t think there’s anything that you’ve missed from Harvard and Princeton do not do a good job versus your hardest grand slam out of the ballpark homer. I wish you had a television show or a new show.
Yeah I wouldn't complain about the Christian Conservatives if they actually did what Jesus said. Love thy neighbor is sort of the opposite of a commandment now ...
Jesus was a communist, and christianism is communism.
Marxism is just a copy of christianism.
Most Chrtistians don't actually follow what Jesus said and taught. Quite the opposite.
Did Simon just say 'that would require an entire youtube channel dedicated to...'? Lawd have mercy.
This was fantastic review. However, there’s a historical inaccuracy. Perón became president on June 1946, after the war ended.
"Why Did So Many Nazis Choose Argentina to Flee to After WWII?"
Because Argentina was a beautiful country back in that time era. What? They supposed to flee to Somalia? I've been to Somalia, that place sucks.
I guess Andrew Webber kinda skipped some details in his brain dead Musical.
Did you ever see "The 4 Hoursemen ofthe Apocalypse ". It is based on work or one, but it has 2 sections of a family, 1's French and Rudolf Valentino place the son of a German immigrant in Argentina and the family's wanting them to participate in World War 1.but the famous scene with row fantino doing the Tango the seeing. That basically cemented. His fame was playing a German Argentinian. And the connections to the fatherland

Fully expected that spiel about Media Bias to turn into a plug for Ground News.
There were a few main migration [periods to Argentina beginning in the 19th century. While tens of thousands of Argentines actually fought for Nazi Germany, most Nazis immigrants have been shunned by the Argentine population.
Thank you so much for letting me know that General Hideki Tojo took the blame for the emperor. Thank you soo much.
That narration speed is like you are fleeing to Argentina.
I really thought that was turning into a Ground News promo for a bit there.
Nice trim Mr Whistler, am I right Peter?
What a unique vocal cadence and intonation this fellow speaks with. The desperation to understand him takes away from the material.
Yet Argentina has the fifth largest Jewish population in the World. And by Jewish per-capita I have heard that is second only to the US.
if anyone has access to the history channel, theres a docu series called hunting hitler that makes an extremely compelling argument that it was at least possible for hitler to have fled to south america and also reveals how other high level nazis did flee to south america
Every time I see a video like this, I feel good about ditching the Church and being an atheist.
Weak mind ..
@@johnandrewmayneRight. So exercising rational thoughts and basing your existence on evidence is being weak minded, to you... I suppose instead giving up any use of reason and aligning behind a ridiculous doctrine guilty of innumerable atrocities means being smart to you...ok buddy

As a fellow athiest I hope you do not fall in the trap most do of worshipping the state instead. then you will truly be free.
I thought the same thing. They could of done alot more damage and possibly taken the whole world if they would have taken their time instead of "taking on every other country at the same time". Im glad they did though, who knows what could have happened.
Arnoldo using other channels to shout out from the basement?
Simple answer: Argentina has always had open borders and the simple answer is true. Immigrants can be exploited, just like the US and UK did.
Peronism is not fascist, never was. It was pragmatic like all Argentines.
And it is truly how two-faced and hypocritical how Argentine (and Latin America in general) is critiqued by having their borders open.
Why? Because the U S was more selective in what Nazis could move there.
