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.

    In 2010, I went to high school with a boy whose grandfather was a Nazi. I'm not exactly sure what he did but it was never a secret and everyone in town knew it. I live in a little town in rural Argentina so everyone one knows each other. They used to call him "El Aleman" (The German). My grandparents are Polish and knew this nazi guy very well and strangely enough, they had a good relationship!

He literally just popped up in a former nazi hub, used conspiracy books at a local shop as reference, and went straight to the nazis daughter in law. Then found a few strangers to form a group to go visit a former nazi bunker. And all of that in Spanish, his second language. This guy is a humble (social) genius

    When I lived in Argentina in the early 1980s, I met a handful of unrepentant Nazis. I spoke with them at length, multiple times over dinner and/or Mate'. I was fascinated by their life experience and perspective. Generally speaking, the people I spoke with were melancholy about how Europe was negatively affected by Germany's loss and the ascendancy of Bolshevism. They all made a good life in Argentina. Thank you for the video. It brought back so many memories.

    Sadly he forgot to mention that there were a lot more of nazis escapin to usa than to Argentina, and that de "military after 55" were a dictatorship that overthrown Peron by bombin with planes and killin their own population. Peron, as Irigoyen, were the best presidents we had in the XX century, Peron gave to people a lot of basics rights and impulsed the industrialization, but his enemies, the oligarchy allied with usa and uk like in the "braden mision" and the next dictatorships didnt want an industrialized country so its understandable that unitestatian people are educated hating Peron or believing he is some kind of dictator

The province of Rio Negro is drop dead gorgeous with the best beaches of Argentina and natural scenery .

Also i'd like to thank you for not picturing all of the Argentinians who live in Bariloche as Nazis because i know that a lot of people from around the world see Argentina only as a Nazi refugee place or a country where nazi culture affected a lot, when the nazi culture isn't really alive and the nazis for what i know tried to lay low in the country. In Argentina you would find the same amount of Neonazis that you would expect to find anywhere in the world (very few and sick people) really like your channel! (sorry for any english errors)

    There is also another city of German immigrants called Villa General Belgrano. During the 1940s the town had an important boost with the arrival at the site of 125 crew members of the German armored ship Admiral Graf Spee. Most of the sailors belonged to the ship's technical staff, with which they mastered a wide range of trades. the sailors managed to integrate into the small community that already had German immigrants.

    As far as I know, being an argentinian myself, you can find the german DNA heritage mostly in the mesopotamic provinces that are in the north east of the country (Misiones, Corrientes, Entre Ríos). 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.

    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.

    Well, that was interesting. I always think, "oh my God, he's going to get assaulted" but you have a way of disarming people so they don't feel threatened by your questions. I'm slowly catching up viewing your previous videos. Lots of entertainment ahead.
