Why Did So Many German Officers Flee to Argentina after WW2?

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.

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.

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.

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.

As an Argentinean I tell you that reading Argentine history generates a feeling of depression so you could never be ahahaha

[@watwat9864]

Matias Belli dude, there’s no shame in taking Nazi generals. You know it’s a good thing to take older and experienced people to help you in a government. It’s been done many times in the past, if you take newer people to a newer government that’s just more corrupt.

[@Lokitoh]

@@watwat9864 I don't think he was talking about taking nazis in... whenever you get a chance study or watch a video about argentine history... We are a country blessed with everything. And we fuck ourselves up every single year. And we blame others, now we are on a daily crisis... there is a saying that goes: "Leave Argentina for a month and everything will have changed. Leave Argentina for 10 years and everything will be the same".

The Why is VERY simple, To avoid capture, trial, incarceration and EXECUTION.

Oof just see what he tells at the beggining

[@kahlilsykies9139]

But that still doesn't answer the question. Why choose Argentina over everywhere else?

[@lorenzogonzalezsalas4129]

Kahlil Sykies Argentina was governed by fascism and Argentina was almost a world power back then as well Argentina only declared war on the axis not to be looked badly at by the allies. Some of the Germans who fled to Argentina where taken back and captured

[@kahlilsykies9139]

@@lorenzogonzalezsalas4129 They wanted to be neutral. They were allies with both sides. The Germans, Italians. But also America, Britain, France. Which was an obvious conflict. As stated in the video. They never declared war to remain neutral. But the SS officers were hated, ridiculed, austrized and scorned by most people around the world. So what about Argentina, made so many of them feel so comfortable? Or at least made so many of them feel that it was the best place to run to? There had to have been social reasons.

[@NattyBumppo48]

Take a look at the map, Argentina is pretty much as far away as you can get and still be on planet Earth..... Plus they had Evita....lol

[@bibekdas7449]

Nice vid

[@lordhriley]

Because that was the plan from before the start of the war. Everyone new there was a chance Germany could lose. Especially after Italy and North Africa.

[@ivanthemisunderstood6940]

Why? Have you ever seen Argentinian women? Frankly I'm surprised that every man that fought in WW2 didn't go there to put it all behind them.

[@djzrobzombie2813]

@norman simpson German woman looking more like man .... Better go with czech woman or in general Eastern Europe..... Where woman will look like woman !

Ikr and alot of other videos about them and racism lool

[@jorgepalomares8025]

Because latley people have been asking themseles why is it that the Argentinian national team does not have any black athletes. And people have come to the conclusion that Argentinans are racist because yes Indeed there are communities of black argentinian citizens marginated by its own government and history books don't tell what actually happened.

[@sspbrazil]

They also fled to the south of Brazil too, ironically, many Jews fled to Argentina too.

[@georgebsuh5144]

they had the 3rd largest jewish population in Argentina at that time. which makes the case was Hitler working with Zionist Jews?

[@LG-jm1io]

They intended to continue the dialog.

[@gtbtp2036]

george bsuh they sure did. The Zionist movement put the NSDAP into power. A commemorative coin was created with the Star of David one side, and yep, swastika the other side. The state of Israel was created just after the war.

[@tadeoescudero9341]

Argentina is a free to immigrate place. There where a lot of Jews and as the video says, Perón supported the nazi ideology. 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?)

[@randomcallum]

So they were just hunting the Jews they didn’t flee D;

[@ilyaz5543]

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. Ah yeah and the weather here is quite like in Germany so why not

[@Cuccos19]

Three things you should never ask: A man about his income. A woman about her age. A German about that 'why grandpa lives in Argentina...' Another one: - Hey Daddy, I know what was a Grandpa in the army during WW2! - What? - He was an electrician, I saw the 'two lighnings' on his helmet! 😅
