1. Hadn't heard anything about this but a lot of those nazis fled to Argentina after WWll.

3. And a lot of Argentine military leaders are their acolytes

Of course Latin America has always had an authoritarianism problem. But historically they've tended to help Yankee Doodle and Uncle Pennybags more than fascists.
