Argentina declassifies more than 1,850 documents about Nazis
The authorities of Argentina have disclosed more than 1,850 documents compiled in seven files concerning Nazi activities in the country after the end of World War II, including information about Adolf Eichmann and Josef Mengele, as published on the official website of the Argentine government.
All materials were gathered in separate dossiers, covering not only the activities of Nazi criminals who fled to South America after World War II, but also the actions of the Argentine military during the dictatorship from 1976 to 1983.
Thanks to extensive restoration and digitization work, more than 1,850 reports and nearly 1,300 classified decrees are now available on the website of the National Archive.
These records are the result of investigations conducted by the Directorate of Foreign Affairs of the Federal Police, the State Intelligence Secretariat (SIDE), and the National Gendarmerie between 1950 and 1980.
It is noted that around 10,000 Nazis fled to Argentina and other South American countries after World War II.
According to the investigation, they were assisted by representatives of the Vatican, who issued forged documents – reports Euronews.
