    "Nine thousand Nazi war criminals fled to South America after the Second World War, it has been revealed for the first time.
    After receiving tip-offs, German prosecutors were recently granted access to secret files in Brazil and Chile that confirmed the true number of Third Reich immigrants.
    According to the documents, an estimated 9,000 war criminals escaped to South America, including Croatians, Ukrainians, Russians and other western Europeans who aided the Nazi murder machine."

    Not that suprising. It seems that following WWII immigration "processes" were rather loose and disorganized. About 10 minutes away from my house is where a large group of Romanian Iron Guard members ended up. There's a park that still has busts of the Iron Guard founders on display.

    True. There was a public inquiry here in the late '80s concerning how many Nazi war criminals had managed to sneak in.

    I was going to say the Weisenthal hunters have been pursuing them in Latin American countries for years so perhaps a complete listing will be what gets revealed because it has long been known that havens for them have existed since WWII. Good luck if they have a bigger list for them now.
