Nazis in South America

Does anyone know anything about Nazis in South America, or even German enclaves in South America and where I could find some information about those subjects? Their culture/history?
 
you mean now or after WWII?
many nazis escaped to SA after WWII , but they are mostly dead now. it isn't like they lived in large groups, they were hiding/trying to blend in
 
A few years back there was an ATOT thread where someones family kept getting random calls for a great uncle of theirs or something - turns out he was a high up in the nazi regeme and had escaped to south america...oddly enough "they" were still trying to track him down?
 
The mossad hunted down and killed the most notorious ones.. the rest are prolly dead from old age.
 
Yeah . . . so I'm guessing Nazis, in their active form, isn't all too common an occurance in South America . . ..

With intermixed people looking like this, how in your right mind can you complain?
 
There was a strong German presence in South America during WWI (the "original" Fifth Column), and after WWII, the Vatican and an SS/Wehrmacht group helped funnel fleeing Nazis to South America. There they intermingled with and were sometimes supported/hidden by the existing German communities.
 
I heard that there was a whole town full of blonde-haired blue-eyed people people somewhere in South America. Supposedly German descendants. I've never seen anything in print about it though.

Any idea what it was called?


And yeah, I'm talking historically for the Nazis, not currently. Though it's cool to know about German communities in S. America.

not like they had kids or anything.
 
My grandma's family had plans to escape Germany in 1940 to go to South America (they were German Jews). However, those plans fell through and they ended up paying all the money they had to get to the United States.

It's very weird (and troubling) to think that I either a) might never have been born at all, had they not gotten out of Germany, or b) been born in South America if their plans had gone through.

There were actually a couple, one was on ODESSA specifically.
 
Are you talking about Nazi pre WWII or how top Nazi and SS leaders fled Germany towards the end of the war and after it ended to escape war crime trials?
 
Yea, the HC special on ODESSA was really interesting. It talked about how the secret service had to pay like $5000 for each of their guys to get out and not blow cover. Then it also talked about people who tried to hunt down escaped Nazi officials. It talked about how the catholic church had a hand in helping the Nazis escape as well as some other people.

I met several of these people when I had Argentine friends. What a shock it was seeing these German looking people who spoke only Spanish.

Of course, the U. S. is the same.

Peter Levenda was one of the only investigators to enter the infamous Colonia Dignidad, the notorious enclave founded by former Nazis in Chile, during its heyday...and live.

Now he's here talking about Nazis in modern day America and the recent arrest of Colonia Dignidad's Paul Schaeffer, and the breaking open of the secretive organization by the Chilean government.

Schaeffer fled Germany during the sixties because of allegations of child abuse, allegations that have followed him to Chile and to the Colonia.

The Colonia was allegedly used as a torture center by the pro-Nazi Pinochet Regime and the CIA during the Pinochet years. It is now being recast as a Christian institution by Christian Right leaders in the US, but depositions being made in the Schaeffer trial are telling a very different story.
