All this Argentina nazi thing feels like a psi op from the americans to distract from the fact they took in much more nazis and incorporated them into government. (Non argentinian btw).
Not entirely. The concept of Germans escaping to Argentina is real, ranking party members and leaders would hide with the help of the Catholic church and make their way to neutral Spain, then take a boat to Argentina which accepted Germans and their ideals plus helped them attain new identities and jobs in the country. Mossad hunted down and assassinated many high ranking Nazis in Argentina and Spain. Operation Paperclip specifically only took German scientists, and the Russians did the same. If you could not be taken under Paperclip, you went to Argentina.

Yeah I think it was called Operation Paperclip Garden or something like that, Axis scientists got snatched up by the Yanks and Reds and got to continue sciencing, I think one of them uploaded his brain into a couple hundred kilometers of storage tape
Thanks, now I can understand. I wouldn't know about US demographics, but stil... I've lived in Argentina for 95% of my life and never heard this thing until I emigrated to the EU. Truly, I can hardly think we have more Germans than the rest of latinoamerica... We ~~do~~did have lots of europeans that came in between, and around, both world wars. The majority are from Spain and Italy.
It isn't.

See that an raise you: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Paperclip
Yes, I'm aware. That doesn't mean it was some sort of American secret operation to put Mengele in Argentina as a distraction. He escaped there, as did other Nazis. Hence the "Argentina Nazi thing" as you put it.
