Foreign Affairs

The CIA itself imported over 2,000 Nazis (many of them war criminals) via Operation Paperclip - some 10,000 if you include dependents.

Some - like psy-ops expert Otto von Bolschwing - heavily influenced the ideological father of today's GOP: Lee Atwater.

His other protégée, Helene von Damm, also served as Reagan's secretary during his years in both Sacramento and the White House.

Chile, more recently, made news by swearing in the first son of a former Nazi officer (outside Germany) to become Head of State: José Kast.

Their richest man for decades (Horst Paulmann) was in fact a former SS officer - something he (like Kast) had denied for decades.

Brazil and Paraguay had a fair number as well - as well as Spain and even Canada.

Like rats, Nazis scurried almost anywhere after defeat.

But yes. Argentina was home to quite a few - possibly even Hitler, who (catch this:) is said to have lived in a cabin designed (unwittingly) by the same architect that designed the townhouse Thiel just bought.

I'd almost bet that Thiel was informed of this coincidence - and that that may have helped seal the deal. Who knows.
