Why Did So Many N*zis Escape To Argentina?

This video was made possible thanks to everyone on the Simple History Patreon: / simplehistory
When World War II ended in 1945, leading Nazi officials and prominent members of the party were either found dead, were arrested, or in many cases, had simply vanished.
Those who were arrested faced justice for their war crimes and crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg trials. There were those who escaped however, who were never found, and never experienced retribution for their horrific actions during the war.
It seems almost unreal that such prominent, well-known individuals could just disappear. But, unfortunately, not everyone was horrified by the Nazi’s actions and despite the war ending, these men still had friends in high places willing to help them take on new identities.
Usually, these Nazis ended up scattered across the world with a large number heading to North and South American countries including Brazil and Paraguay. But the most popular, and most researched, escapee destination was Argentina.

Only Bill Russell and Sam Jones (in a mostly nine team league) have made more nba finals appearances LeBron james carried an absolutely horrific 2007 Cleveland Cavaliers team to the nba finals In the modern NBA era (post 1960) only nine NBA top 75 players have won a championship without another top 75 player as a teammate Rick Barry (1975) Bill Walton (1977) Hakeem Olajuwon (1994) Tim Duncan (2005) (2007) Kobe Bryant (2009) (2010) Steph Curry (2015) (2022) LeBron james (2016) Kawhi Leonard (2019) Giannis Antetokounmpo (2021) As you can see, LeBron James is on the list and Michael Jordan isnt Lebron james has won 17 playoff series, without an nba top 75 teammate. Michael Jordan won ZERO In the year before Michael Jordan and LeBron James joined their team and the year after they left their team, their records were 83-84 bulls 27-55 84-85 bulls. 38-44 92-93 bulls 57-25 93-94 bulls 55-27 98-99 bulls 13-37 without Scottie Pippen 00-01 wizards 19-63 01-02 wizards. 37-45 02-03 wizards 37-45 03-04 wizards 25-57 02-03 cavaliers 17-65 03-04 cavaliers 35-47 09-10 cavaliers 61-21 10-11 cavaliers 19-63 09-10 heat. 47-35 10-11 heat 58-24 14-15 heat 37-45 2013-14 cavaliers 33-49 2014-15 cavaliers 53-29 2017- 18 cavaliers 50-32 2018-19 cavaliers 19-63 2017-18 lakers. 35-47 2018-19 lakers were 20-14 when LeBron James got injured on Christmas day. As you can see When LeBron James joins a team, the team improves more than Michael Jordan and when LeBron James leaves a team, the team always goes into the tank. Michael Jordan, excluding the 94-97 seasons, when the NBA moved the three point line to 22 feet, was a career 28% three point shooter. LeBron James is a career 34% three point shooter Michael Jordan was a great defensive player, in an Era where you could handcheck. Playing defense is much easier when you can handcheck. For nearly 6'9 250 LeBron James' entire career he wasn't afforded the opportunity to handcheck. THE EVIDENCE IS CLEAR..LEBRON JAMES IS THE GOAT!!!!! I have added a Postscript So many have replied, that LeBron james didn't make the playoffs his first two years and Jordan did. What they fail to say is, in 1985, 16 of 23 teams made the playoffs. In 2004, 16 of 29 teams made the playoffs. It was MUCH EASIER to make the playoffs in 1985, as opposed to 2004. Perfect example is, the 1985 86 bulls went 30-52 and made the playoffs and the 2004 05 cavaliers went 42-40 and did not make the playoffs. Also, I don't know, possibly, maybe, Jordan had a HUGE ADVANTAGE considering he played three years of college basketball and LeBron James was 19 years old, and straight out of high school

Unironically have a close friend from Chile whom grandpa was a low ranking SS officer, he didn't face trial or anything since he was station in Munich for the majority of the war. He moved to Argentina in 1958 since he didn't like the way West germany was becoming. He work as a butcher in Bariloche for around 7 years, then he met a second generation german lady who live in Valparaiso, Chile. They fall in love, got married and moved to valparaiso. Their son moved to Santiago and have a kid, the kid is my friend. I got transferred to the same school as him when my mom move to chile for work, i got to know him and we became close friend, i got to know his family and often visit them when i was still living in chile. Nowadays i move back to my home country but we still keep in touch. His grandpa sadly passed away in 2017 due to lung cancer.

Small correction but the hate for jews here (while it was still there) wasn't as big as the video makes it out to be, as Argentina had a large jewish population, and in fact, many jews escaped to Argentina as well. We didn't welcome them out of the goodness of our hearts of course, they just brough money with them, which is always in need in here. We made our own Operation Paperclip in a way. The Nazis took the Americans to space, and they gave Argentina the Pulqui fighter jet, and the Huemul nuclear project.

I am Cuban and I live in Uruguay and I did an exchange in Argentine cities like Rosario, Santa Fe, Posadas, Bariloche and Mendoza and I want to say that Argentina is whiter than the United States and the United States has more African Americans and Hispanic mestizos than Argentina. I also spent my vacation in New York and most of the people you see in NYC are black, mulatto and mixed race but in Rosario they are whiter of Italian descent and Rosario is not so touristy. Until San Miguel de Tucumán, the city to the northwest is whiter than "Los Angeles. A Cuban says so and also in all of Argentina except in most of the northwest areas, whites predominate! Italians mostly in the center (where 75 percent of the population lives). Spanish in Tucumán and the Germans in the province of the Pampas and Santa Cruz. In Buenos Aires, although it is not as white as before, it still has a super white majority and more or less 45 percent of the population lives in the province of Buenos Aires and in the metropolitan area of ​​Buenos Aires. In fact, almost all the browns and mestizos you see in Buenos Aires are Bolivians, Peruvians, Paraguayans and their descendants, just like in the entire center. And to prove that Argentina is a mostly white country, not mestizo, according to the 2023 Genera study based on many thousands of DNA tests, the average Argentine is only 12.5 percent indigenous and 85 percent Caucasian. Here I leave the channel of an American who lives in South America and adopted Argentine citizenship and is dedicated to recording the streets of South America, mainly Argentina, including the central region where the vast majority of the population is of European descent.

9:14 the facial depiction of Simon Wiesenthal was actually pretty accurate especially in his later years as in real life he did actually have a mustache and obviously as he grew older his hair turned white like most elderly people. If you go on Google and look up Simon Wiesenthal you will probably see pictures of him in real life and you can see what he looked like in real life. An interesting fact about him was that Simon who was born in 1908 lived to the ripe old age of 96 years old before dying in 2005 which was only 18 years ago. This meant that Simon lived through ww1, the Great Depression, ww2, the Holocaust, the Cold War, The Civil Rights Movement, the turn of the 21st century, and 9/11 and was alive for most Disney and Pixar movies from Snow White and Toy Story all the way to Poohs Heffalump Movie and the Incredibles.

They had one purpose and that was to murder everyone who arrived there except a couple of unfortunate souls who were forced to assist in the genocide of their own people... Concentration camps weren't much better though but at least there was a chance to survive albeit a Small one😢

[@jfournerat1274]

You are correct. Sobibor and Treblinka were pure extermination centers. Unlike concertration camps such as Dachau or Buchenwald extermination camps such as Sobibor and Treblinka had only one purpose which was mass murder. Almost all of the people who were sent to Sobibor and Treblinka were killed upon arrival in the gas chambers with only a few hundreds of people being kept alive who were then forced to assist the Nazis in their mass murder. Of those hundreds who were innitally kept alive in Sobibor and Treblinka only as many as 128 of them survived the Holocaust with there being 70 survivors of Treblinka and 58 survivors of Sobibor and they only survived because they were able to successfully escape from the camps.

This phenomenon actually dates back from WW1. I'm Argentinian born and raised. Both my great-grandfathers (Italian and German) fled Europe because of the great war. I actually have a picture of my mother's side grandad wearing a German uniform

[@chi-dog738]

Watch Europa: the last battle and the greatest story never told. All the information is 100% fact, and shows you the true history of WW2

[@klanas40]

Not everything there is true. About 80 percent. We need real free market and true capitalism like it was in USA briefly in 19 century.

SIMON Weisenthal not 'Simone'... Interesting that the video mentions extradition a few times but neglects to mention if Argentina had an extradition treaty in place with previous Allies or the newly created Israel.

[@Der.Geschichtenerzahler]

Interesting fact: I'm Brazilian and I watched a local documentary about Mengele and how he escaped to Brazil. His son once flew from Germany to South America and asked him whether he regretted what he did. He coldly replied he was just following orders. One day, he asked his landlords (who apparently where unaware of his crimes) to take him to the beach (he'd pay them for that and other favors since he was constantly afraid of being caught). After he got into the water, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and died from cardiac arrest. Considering all the evil he has done, I must say he left this world the easy way.

[@wdoyenart5413]

In the 40's Argentina was the only neutral nation with first world living standards so was there really any alternative for anyone escaping Germany? At the time Argentina was simultaneously a top destination for Jews escaping Europe.
