I Met The Family of Nazis Who Fled to Argentina (#99)

Far from the bustling capital of Buenos Aires in Argentina lies Bariloche, a scenic resort town that feels like it was pulled right out of the Swiss Alps, or maybe Austria. German settlers arrived here in large numbers in the early 1900’s, and they were later followed by a more questionable group of immigrants - Nazis fleeing prosecution after World War 2. All of the most prominent Nazi commanders and scientists came here, some if only for a brief period. There was even a conspiracy that Hitler himself escaped here.
I decided I would have to look into this a bit more -- and I was quite surprised by what I found.

Bariloche is a small city in a southern province called Río Negro, but yes, it is predominantly german and swiss, and has very good chocolates too.

[@dreamymaxxx3394]

Hhahaha it is not predominantly german. As the lady said, theyre all dead, they barely bred

[@omiluna7362]

They are all mixed, "mestizos" all over Argentina, even the early immigrants were mixed. There was NEVER pure breed in this continent. Not even USA has pure breed.

It is a cooler climate though. Famous for skiiing in season.

@@waitingforapril you can ski at Lake Tahoe as well, it’s cold enough that the lake freezes over in winter.

[@SMoore-vj7bt]

Really?I’m American but haven’t visited Lake Tahoe. I was in NV recently but only from Salt Lake city down to Las Vegas.

[@observer74]

@@SMoore-vj7bt Absolutely. The majority of Nevada is desert, as you saw in Vegas. However, in northern central Nevada, along the California border, there are alpine forests surrounding Lake Tahoe- which is shared by both states. There are a number of towns on the lake that have a similar alpine vibe. It’s a pretty magical place.

[@greybeard5774]

[@max0007]

Interesting Video! Bariloche looks super nice. Actually like Old Germany with better weather :D My neighbor is an Argentinian / German. There were always sayings that his family were Nazis who fleed to Argentina. I talked to him about his past. He said he was vorn in Bariloche, lived there for 20 years and grew up wit 800 Nazis. His parents were from the Netherlands and Germany. My peruvian wife is always laughing when he passes our apartment and hears him screaming Spanish insults haha

[@andrewgooden1009]

Thank you, Tommy, this is a magnificent video, and I enjoyed it. What makes you the best KZbinr on this platform is the ease with how you communicate to your viewers.

The bunker is weird, I think it can be a possibility. Amazing country, really beautiful. It´s look a bit like Canada or the USA sometimes. Also funny to see the German architecture. But also German/Nort America styl houses, like the house in the background at 12:51. It wish you checked that out!

My wifes uncle lived in bariloche for many years, we visited a number of times, its a fantastically beautiful place and i highly recommend it as a destination.

I remember watching a documentary about the guy and they taked briefly about the town but didn't realize how beautiful it was. It looks like somewhere i'd see going up north to like Washinngton. or BC. Definitely on the bucket list now.

It's probably because it's latitude is approximating the same distance to the south pole as Washington and BC are to the North Pole.
