Goddamn, I hope all this material gets properly cataloged by professionals and published. I would love to read about it, as someone with an interest in WWII and the hunt for escaped Nazis.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I’ll pass on opening that.
I bet if they go outside they'll also find the sky is blue.
Nazis things in Argentina, who would have thought?
But if you read the article, is not what we assumed. The boxes were being shipped from the German embassy in Japan to Argentina, and were marked as personal effects. The Argentinians did a spot check and found the propaganda, so they confiscated it because they were worried it could impact their neutrality. It went to the courts, up to their supreme court, though no one knows what action if any the court took. Obviously the Nazis didn't get the material back.
Argentina being a safe haven for Nazis didn't happen until after the war, if I understand things correctly.
Argentina and South Africa were their two main escape routes.
Musk's Nazi family used SA...
Nazis and apartheid profiteers, name a more iconic duo
You don't need to pretend Musk has German ancestry to criticize them. His father is a violent bigot who supports Russian imperialism and his maternal grandfather was a racist, fascist Southern African politician.
Didn't the Vatican organise a whole underground railroad for Nazis to go retire in Latin America...
Bastards of a feather...
and SAS sent Christopher Lee, yes, THAT Christopher Lee, down there to make sure the very worst of them didn't escape justice
They - failed Dr. Josef Mengele for instance lived out his life in Latin America working for the Mengele tractor company then drowned in a swimming accident.
Christopher Lee must have been blind to miss the fact. Many of them didn't even bother to change their names.
for sure. argentina did a lot to shield a lot of people and 23 is simply not that many nazis to kill
That's so epic. Imagine thinking you'd gotten away with it, and you hear Saruman asking after your old name at the front door.
Don't believe the hype.
What do you mean?
