Why did so many Nazis choose to escape to Argentina, and how did they manage to escape over the Atlantic undetected?
In: 3074
Argentina had a large German expat population so they could blend in there. The Argentinian government had also been relatively close to Nazi Germany during the war.
The Vatican helped a bunch of Nazis escape Europe through the “ratline”, and the US looked the other way or recruited Nazis through Operation Paperclip. The Nazis were after the war essentially more valued as anti-communists than defendants in war crimes trials.
